Despite our best efforts, traffic injuries and fatalities continue to increase. Traditional solutions do not seem to fix the problem; perhaps we need to approach these problems in a new way. This collection attempts to expand thinking about traffic safety across a range of disciplines and seeks to open up the discussion.

A widely published scholar, Peter Rothe has a rich background in analysing the social behaviour engaged in risk, safety, and injury. He has directed major qualitative research studies in traffic safety, education, trucking, criminology, health, injury control, counselling, First Nations, and gerontology. Dr. Rothe is presently a Senior Research Associate and Associate Professor with the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research at the University of Alberta.

"We've been so focused on 'the mind, body, vehicle and roadway,' says [editor] Rothe, that we've 'avoid[ed] exploring other vital perspectives like culture, economics, politics and social behaviour.' Not so in Driving Lessons, which brings together experts in psychology, sociology, education, engineering, medicine and the law to discuss what's wrong from a big-picture perspective while tackling contemporary problems such as road rage, high-risk young drivers, aging drivers and cellphone use. If you've always suspected there's a lot more to traffic safety than Elmer the Safety Elephant, buckle up and prepare to go deep with Driving Lessons. It's not a driver instruction manual, and it's definitely not a Sunday drive, but the diverse, new perspectives it provides make for a highly rewarding journey." Westworld
