Answer: The correct sentence is;

''Before 8 a.m., traffic is light; however, at 5 p.m., Fred always wishes that he drove a bulldozer to push other cars out of his way.''

Step-by-step explanation:

There should be a semicolon after the word light because this joins the two contrasting clauses (one where traffic is light and the other inferring heavy traffic).

The conjunctive adverb, ''however'' is properly used in the sentence to link the two independent clauses.
