We have all felt rage and all been the target of rage. Anne breaks down the why behind this feeling and gives us strategies to process before the rage takes over our better nature. This book isn't just about road rage, it's about understanding ourselves, each other, and reaching that elusive calm. -- Dr. Eden-Reneé Hayes * Social Psychologist & CEO, Pluralism Solutions * In A Driving Anger, Anne teaches drivers lessons behind their anger while driving and provides tools to prevent road rage by using relatable stories and a captivating analysis of the role social psychology plays in road rage and its prevention. A must-read! -- Jeanine Skorkino * Professor of Psychology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute * Safety initiatives in traffic engineering often focus on making changes to the built environment to influence driver behavior. Anne's book uncovers the psychology of what causes drivers' road rage, which can often lead to clouded judgment and unsafe roadways. Anne thoughtfully explores 'off-ramps' from road rage-what WE can do to prevent accidents, acknowledge our biases, and create safer roadways for all. A must read for anyone interested in developing a more comprehensive perspective of roadway safety, going beyond the built environment characteristics and into the mind behind the wheel. -- Tate Coleman, MRP, MSCE * Senior Transit Planner at South County Connector *
