Seems interesting. Care to enlighten us what the book covers?

My own personal theory....(in a perfect world) if everyone was off their cell phone, driving at 55mph, and maintaining 2-3 seconds from the car in front....traffic time would lower and there would fewer accidents.

Hmm...I might actually look for this book. Finally found an author that sees the trend that I am seeing; that safer cars some how end up being more dangerous on the road or that people easily get worked up over simple things such as merging or the use of the turn signals.

^Agree. I've seen some motorists that drive like they got their licenses from Cracker Jack boxes (including a few that have their shades on at night because it's "cool")

Interesting book though, TK
