Answer: Listen to a good book on tape.
Have you ever been in the car going somewhere, and stuck in a traffic jam? I’m sure you have. I have. Los Angeles, CA is one of the most congested cities in the U.S., along with New York City and Washington DC.
The book, “Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do” explores, in-depth, the psychology of traffic. It discusses why we drive the way we do, and all about traffic patterns. It is available all over the place (Amazon, Barnes & Noble…). It’s written by Tom Vanderbilt, an editor for The Economist. It’s an extremely fascinating book that I highly recommend.
I was hoping for some good insights about why I drive faster than I should! Or why my mother drives with two feet, one on the gas and one on the brake! Sounds like I need to read the book. Thanks Candler,
Cynthia
Cynthia,
The reason that you speed is you’re over-scheduled! My mom would say that people have poor motor-planning skills (that doesn’t apply to YOU!).
Also, I can’t help your mom with driving with two feet… But she can get a manual transmission put in her car. Then, she’ll need 3 feet!
That book sounds like a good read. Think we could probably find out a lot about our personalities by reading it. Just like Cynthia’s mother, my dad drove with both feet. Wonder what that says about him! Hum? Hope it’s not genetic!!!!
I’m not trying to be personal, but how often did he go through tires?
