Overview

Highway collisions injure about 3.5 million people in the United States each year - considerably larger than the population of Chicago. The bill for all the carnage, medical care and property damage runs nearly $200 billion annually. A phenomenon this large ought to command a serious and prolonged public discussion. Sad, but it almost never receives such attention. Instead, highway tragedies bring spot news reports and videotape, followed by the requisite interviews with friends and family and statements by local authorities about the need to do something, topped by guest spots by the highway-safety experts on what should be done. Then ... nothing! Things quiet down until the next particularly grisly crash occurs. Absent an organized or official effort, the only sensible choice is individual responsibility. That's what this written prescription aims to do: encourage the changing of habits, one driver at a time. Why not? The country is full of car magazines and online car pages and car-talk shows on the radio and television. So how about a little attention to the one activity that constitutes the most dangerous thing we all do on a daily basis? In The Driving Doctor, author Phil Berardelli concisely addresses a major but underreported public-safety issue in a way that can help anyone willing to treat their personal highway safety with the same importance as any other aspect of their personal, such as their cholesterol level and their heart rate and their waistline measurement. Along with diets and exercise, and Pilates and Yoga, here is a quick and simply way to help shape up your driving skills, because attention to health and wellness becomes meaningless in an instant on the highway if you make the wrong decision. So, spend a little time exploring these topics. The Driving Doctor is ... in.
