Us Chicagoans aren't afraid of commuting. After a year or so of it, you will have it down. I am sure somewhere along I-290 someone will show you an alternate use of a break down lane or a shoulder

That's nothing compared to civilians on motorcycles and a CHP motorcycle officer passing between you and another car (the white dotted line) on the 405 in LA. That was sept 2009. It was so close that I had wished I had gotten the supplemental rental insurance. I was doing 50 and god knows how fast they were going.
