ATLANTA -- Anyone who drives in Metro Atlanta could probably suggest a challenging section of road that's lousy with rush hour traffic.

For the past few weeks, 11Alive's Commuter Dude has been asking you which portions of your drive to (or from) work, you hate the most. 

Dude will begin showcasing the five areas that came up most often. In some cases, he will try to offer alternate routes. In others, you may be advised to simply grin (or scowl) and bear it.

Either way, you will undoubtedly relate to the drivers in these stories who are sick to death of staring at the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of them.

Day 2: Holcomb Bridge Road: The most heavily traveled arterial in Metro Atlanta.

BUFORD, Ga. -- Buford High School is among the 2012 AP Merit Schools.

The honor is given annually to U.S. high schools where at least 20 percent of students take Advanced Placement exams. Of those tests, at least half must earn a passing score of 3 or higher.

The College Board, which gives AP exams every year, reported Wednesday that Georgia is the 12th state in the nation for the percentage of seniors earning passing scores on AP tests. More than 41 percent of Georgia's seniors took at least one AP exam in 2012, compared to the U.S. average of 32.4 percent.

"Georgia's students continue to outperform most of their peers throughout the country on Advanced Placement exams," State Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Barge said in a statement. "These results show that Georgia's students can compete against any students in the nation."
