I hear it in the background, but I rarely pay attention to it.:o 95% of the accidents/road problems they announce are in Chattanooga, 30-60 minutes away from where I'm at, so I don't pay any attention to the details.:o

Same here. They're on in the background. I listen more for the news though.

me over an hour to go 16 miles to get home from work, I usually listen, but they are either NEVER right, or they skip over the problems on the roads that I travel! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was shocked to see Todd here this morning too! Hey Todd.:wave:

Somehow I think Jason is the cause of all the accidents, that's why he never listens for them.;)

Heather, I bet there's a whole lot more traffic stuff your way than mine! Everytime I'm in your area it's busy!

Tony, it's a conspiracy.;)

Since it takes over an hour to go ten miles to Philly... yes I do, especially if we are going that way...

I listen as well if we are going to NJ.. same with going on some roads that are now under construction.

I'm with Tony...I have a 15 mile commute that can take 25 minutes or over an hour. Of course half the time they don't mention anything about the problem until after I'm stuck in it or past it!

In my area the only road construction they talk about on my radio is on I-24 or I-75, and that's a given! I don't need to know about it. Besides, I don't have to go to the interstate.

I work about 15 miles from where I live. The biggest hassle I have in the morning is taking my kids to school (and that's only because they like to sleep, it's not the traffic;) ). I don't listen to it in the afternoon either though.:o

When I work I try to listen. The bad thing is that I only have about 3 minutes from my house to where I have to make a critical decision about if I'm going to use the Interstate or city roads. If I don't hear the traffic before I'm on the Interstate, I usually switch to my CDs because I don't want to hear that I'm about to drive into traffic.

Hardly listen to the radio. Angers up the blood having to listen to that endless prattle following by endless playings of crummy music. :rolleyes: :teeth:
