That's not what happens around here at all.
It's not that less people are driving when schools are closed. Its that when they are open more people are driving at the same time.
When schools are closed the same number of people are driving to work, they are just spreading it out more since they aren't confined to dropping their kids off at a predetermined time on the way to work.
