Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do

Avast! If ye be new to this vessel, partake in the lootin' with our Arrrrh! S.S. (RSS), Matey!

An insight into the mind of a modern-day driver.
In this new book by Tom Vanderbilt, the topic of discussion, is the finer details of one of the most common activities in America. Vanderbilt claims that unless you are a brain surgeon, driving is one of the most complicated things you do in life, mostly due to the thousands of intricacies that are just second nature to drivers. The book also gets into detail about the connection between driving habits and personality, and methods you can practice to help reduce traffic. I may just start exiting my car while backed up on the 405 freeway and hand these out to the frustrated motorists, thanks Tom! $15.
