This is a truly fascinating book. It explores traffic from a variety of perspectives. There's the psychological angle, the sociological angle, a cultural/anthropology angle, as well as scientific explanations. All written in a very accessible and entertaining manner. i know it has changed my outlook on traffic and the way i drive, while it actually makes sitting in traffic a little more bearable, now that i have a greater understanding of what is happening and why. i highly recommend this book for anyone who has spent any amount of time wondering what the hell is wrong with some people on the road.
