About the Book
Every day you drive a vehicle, or ride in one, you take your life in your hands. Unfortunately, you actually put your life in other peoples’ hands. With nearly 43,000 fatalities each year (in the U.S. alone), we are facing an epidemic that must be stopped.
In this heartfelt and insightful journey, Bruce Moeller explores our driving culture and what’s gone wrong. Automobiles, trucks and buses have become lethal weapons capable of causing mass destruction on a daily basis. What can we do to improve the situation? Moeller argues that it’s not the vehicle’s fault, but rather, the driver’s. Stupid is as stupid does.
With humor, pathos and personal reflection, Moeller provides an insight that few can. As CEO of a company that sees risky driving in commercial fleets and automobile drivers daily—and then provides programs to improve it—he’s at the forefront of this human epidemic. You’ll laugh, cry and shake your head in wonderment and frustration as you discover what a life is worth in today’s dollars, the amount of misbehavin’ on our roadways and the controversy between privacy and safety. You’ll reflect on your own personal experiences as Moeller reminisces about his. And you’ll be moved to take action—whether at home or in the workplace—to help improve risky driving behavior.
This collection of observations, reflections, stories and commentary will fuel your passion to do what you can to make our roads safer. You’ll finish this anthology wanting to read more. Hear more.
