how we drive
I’ve been reading a very interesting and surprisingly accessible-but-academic blog lately about traffic and our behaviors. The blog is called “How we drive” and it is by a man named...

This is a personal request. I mean, yeah, please stop talking, dialing, and texting on your cell phones while you’re driving, because you’re going to kill someone, but this is a different...
