We first open the mail bag to answer a few of the more interesting questions I have received lately. Then I visit with Dayna Edens with a website called ConsumerAffairs, not to be confused with Consumer Reports, to chat about their driver study that looked at driver knowledge of driving laws, driving confidence, safety habits and driver behavior. Link to the study is below. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Experiencing a crash, either as a driver or a passenger can have longer lasting effects on the mind than the body. For some, driving becomes a chore that can be very difficult to deal with. I was contacted by someone who thought it would be good for me to chat with Janelle Lawrence. Janelle wrote a book comparing crash recovery to similar effects of PTSD that many soldiers deal with after returning from a tour of duty. The book is titled: Healing Behind the Wheel: Navigating Trauma-Informed Traffic Safety and in this episode I speak with Janelle about the book and how to overcome the challenges of life after a wreck.
