I live in Foster City so 101 is the best way for me to go. Unfortunately i have to be at work before 9am. I have tried to leave the house aorund 6:30am and it wasnt too bad. Except when there were accidents. The afternoon drives were pretty intensed as i left work around 5-5:30. I guess i just have get use to it; maybe find a nice gym down in Milpitas and avoid the afternoon rush hour traffics. By the way, i thought New Jersey and Massachusetts drivers were bad until i experienced CA drivers
