One factor in traffic to take count of is routines.
I mostly drive to work, it's the same route. I don't leave too early, so if anything happens on the way, that would delay me, I'd be late. Sometimes I find afterwards that I have no clear recollection of my journey to work or home, if there was nothing unusual on the way.
It's a joke, but so true, that often when someone ahead of you is not using their turn signal to alert you of their intentions, we comment "oh yeah, he doesn't need to use the signal, because this is the place, where he always sheers".
Once out of a whim on my way work I tried to follow advice that we should change our routines, take another course to work for example. I was late, of course, because I took a route, that didn't allow turning left, where I thought it would, and ended up taking much longer route...
