Are we born to drive?

Compared to a vehicle, our brain processes data at a speed of about 8 km/h (approx. 5 mi/h), even if we are driving at 130 km/h (approx. 80 mi/h). We often underestimate the complexity of the act of driving. Understanding the complex mechanisms of the human mind when driving, what happens when a stimulus reaches our brain, how long it takes to be processed and the mental traps we can fall into are some of the topics this book deals with. Using down-to-earth and practical language that directly addresses the reader, the author invites us to reflect on the mistakes that are made at the steering wheel. Mistakes which sadly, at times, prove fatal! Training the brain to be efficient when driving is nevertheless possible. This book explains how, with appropriate training, we can become more aware, careful and reliable drivers.
