The T-Word

When on a road trip, the mere mention of traffic will cause an almost immediate increase in cars on the road. This includes but is not limited to the following phrases:

"Oh wow, look at the traffic on the other side"
"Whew, looks like we made it the entire way without any traffic"
"It's 5am, there shouldn't be any traffic"
To avoid this phenomenon, please refer to traffic as "the t-word" it will make driving conditions better for all of us.
