The only advice i can really give is if he wants to drive less than 45 minutes, he has to live in Ontario or live in a city where he'll be able to take streets all the way to work. Traffic is murder in the morning and later at 5-7 when everyone gets off work. I live 10 miles away from school equating to a 15 minute drive w/o traffic and during the commute times, it takes me about 40 minutes to get home or to school.
