Less is More

Coworkers have been telling me that fewer people are driving, or people are driving less, because of higher gasoline prices. After driving to Albuquerque this weekend to visit my mother (and taking Thing One to visit a friend of hers), I can tell you that less driving does not mean that people are driving any better. In fact, the sensible drivers might be the ones staying off the roads, which leaves a higher proportion of maniacs and idiots behind the wheel.
