Re: Why We Drive The Way We Do

Sarah sent me a link to a book called Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us). Haven’t read it, but i scanned the Q&A on Amazon’s page. This quote caught my eye:

Drivers all tend to think they are better than average.

I’ve actually pondered that before and i honestly think i’d be in the top 10% of drivers, at least (i’m definitely curious to find out for sure). I am firmly confident in my skills, but my justification is less about myself and more about the fact that i see so many drivers on the roads that are absolutely clueless.

This could easily become a very long post about driving, traffic, road laws, driver training and licensing in America… But i will leave it with saying that i’d like to read this book.

    I speak for myself when I say, “BWAAHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHA, I drive so good like, it scares people.”

  1. Read a chapter about parking strategies at Barnes & Noble the other night. It comes in a lot of interestingly titled little chapters on probably every aspect of driving. Looking forward to checking out the rest.

  1. No trackbacks yet.
