Default Car commuters suffer stress, poor dears

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4052861.stm

Nice to see that some of the feedback posters have heard the penny
dropping :-)

[ story starts: ]

Commuters can experience greater stress than fighter pilots going into
battle or riot policemen, a new study says.

I think you can guess the rest.

Car commuters != commuters

According to a report I read on this in the times, they studied both rail
and car commuters.

Just sayin' :-)

It doesn't specify car commuters only though. Indeed the only specific
reference is to train passengers ..

"But the commuter, particularly on a train, cannot do anything about it at
all.

Speaking as a train commuter - nah! If the train doesn't turn up I
just carry on on the bike, though :-)
