We spent a lot of our driving vacation dealing with traffic. When I’m back to reading books (which should be in September – August is devoted to magazines) I’m planning to read Traffic, by Tom Vanderbilt. The excerpt about merging is fascinating. I am one of the early mergers who coldly stares down the speed down the shoulder and merge at the last possible second drivers. And then lets them in.

Read more about Traffic at the book’s site, How We Drive.

    Oh my gosh. I am an early merger. I don’t like late mergers! That excerpt was totally fascinating.
