Not only can driving cause stress, make you late with the inevitable traffic jams, and be the source of an all-day bad attitude, but it can also be bad on your wallet.
In 2019 alone, congestion cost U.S. drivers $88 billion and an average of 99 hours of their time.
For many Americans, however, driving down a calm back road is a way to relieve stress and free their minds.
