I average 1,000 miles a week and I run into quite a few traffic jams and I'm so glad everyday that I have my empeg to listen to. The worse one that I have been in was when there are a multiple car and truck pile-up with Air Care landing 2 helicopters and it was over an hour before we even started inching forward. I just sat there listening to my music and zoning everything out around me and it didn't bother me at all.
