Right: unlike dying, if someone sits in traffic more, they're able to change their situation and seek alternatives. It's not like increasing traffic in the short term is something reasonable to extrapolate to all drivers for the rest of their lives. More likely, traffic increases lead to either (or both) of infrastructure changes or lifestyle changes.

Also the conversation assumes people are actually sitting in traffic for ages
Are the welsj streets so clogged? I recall an article stating that the average increase in journey length was a few minutes.
