How To Make Roads Safer For Troopers (And Us)
ResumeSix Massachusetts state troopers have been struck roadside since July 4. Is it all about alcohol, or is there something inherently careless about the way we drive? Tom Vanderbilt, author of "Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Drive (and What It Says About Us)," says there's a lot more going on here than just late-night boozing.
And while we have him in the studio, we ask Vanderbilt: Are Massachusetts drivers really as bad as they (Vermonters, etc.) say we are?
