” We talk about ‘beating the traffic’ or ‘getting stuck in traffic’, but we never talk in polite company, at least about ‘beating people’ or ‘getting stuck in people’”
Is this true? People in busy cities (e.g. New York or DC) sure do loathe tourists, especially in crowded areas like the subway.

It’s hard to work out people…. I have a mate who is so laid back it’s untrue but when he’s behind the wheel. OMG…..
Wonder what problems he has ? lol

When I was in grade school we were often shown Walt Disney “educational” cartoons (to give the teachers a break?) – one that made an impression had Donald Duck turning into a red-demon behind the wheel of his convertible. After an intervention he was a changed duck – he even stopped and tipped his fedora to people crossing the street! All things were possible when I was a kid – we also believed we would have a four-day work week because techno-marvels would free workers for more leisure time. NOT!

Disney understood what it took years for “experts” to write about. One of my favorite cartoons, how Mr Walker becomes Mr Wheeler (it’s all about anger management), explained by Goofy in MotorMania:

The real causes of accidents are far more deep-seated. They have to do with our attitudes, our emotions, and our judgments.”
The author was probably dismissed as a k00k who didn’t understand that if you don’t drive like a moron you will never arrive at your destination and/or you will be “run over”.

“Crashes are not accidents”, and steering is not driving.

To “Beat traffic” is to leave earlier, later or choose an alternate route. This avoids problems. Problem people “Fight traffic.” What do you stand to “win” by fighting traffic? A few seconds. Not only do they uselessly elevate their own stress level, they bother the mellow people and cause crashes.

The book reference sounds really interesting; but i can’t find it googling around… i do see this paper:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1805999/
its full text is there, and the author, a Herbert Stack, quotes from Brody’s book and appears to have been a collaborator with him on other work.
