Traffic Stories
Let's face it. Driving -- to work, to run daily errands, or to play -- can often be a tough nut to crack. We'd bet you all have stories to share about jams and inconveniences and what you do to compensate for the on-road behavior of others...
In Traffic, author Tom Vanderbilt examines why we drive the way we do and what it says about us as wheel commanders. The book is a rich and surprisingly enough, entertaining info-mix of social sciences, history, and road engineering.
If the book has any one important thing to say, it'd be this: we'd get further down the road, faster -- and we'd save fuel -- if we followed the signs and played/drove well with others.
