it would be best to drive at off-peak traffic hours to work and be defensive while driving. here are some tips:

1. Drive in the center lane as much as you can.
2. Keep away from funny looking Landcruisers, nissan patrols...
3. If you can afford it, purchase/lease a 4x4.

dont worry its not that bad that you wont be able to drive. there is another thread giong somewhere here that has more tips...
