How's My Driving?

Synopsis: This non-fiction work propounds the thesis that one of the major contributors to the inordinate amount of car crashes Americans endure each year is the sense of overconfidence that most American drivers bring to our roads. It argues that most drivers would benefit immensely from examining their own driving practices thoroughly and from incorporating more risk-averse habits rather than operating with the illusion of invincibility. 

It presents various theorems that delineate the most common errors and catalysts behind car crashes, further explaining how drivers can often circumvent such pitfalls by avoiding distractions on the road, using their turn signals and headlights as intended, and making full use of all of the safety features that modern cars are now equipped with. 

The book relays the excruciating details of several catastrophic car crashes that resulted in major injuries in order to disabuse readers of the common notion that some drivers are immune to such outcomes on the road. It employs an abundance of firsthand and secondhand accounts to drive home the point that car accidents can occur to anyone, regardless of their social class or degree of driving aptitude and experience. It asserts that, therefore, the greatest obstacle to reducing the car crash rate in the US may be the intransigence of drivers who operate as if they were immortal and immune to the consequences of inattentive or reckless driving.
