Synopsis

Are you driving more (or less) and enjoying it less?

Many of us are, and we've had just about enough of it!

Is the stress and strain of dealing with traffic getting on your nerves?

Do you suffer from aggressive driving in yourself or others?

Or worry about galloping road rage and those awful drivers?

Would you like to be happier out there on the road?

Or at least a little less miserable?

Well, yes you can become a happier, healthier, safer driver with The Rider Method and its companion 8 step program. Riders on the Road (How to Laugh More and Rage Less with The Rider Method) combines a humorous look at the world we drive in with a bundle of sensible advice, and oh by the way, shows you how to laugh your driving cares away. The second edition is filled with more entertaining stories, provocative questions and smart driving pointers for regular drivers like you and me. Whether you're a wolf or a lamb on the road, this book's for you.

Billions and billions of miles!

Eight billion to be exact. That's the official US average daily vehicle miles grand total, give or take a few million. Yes, we motorists spend well over 100 million hours together on the roads of America every single day.

No wonder we're getting sick and tired of each other!

Riders on the Road is here to help, by showing you how to transform scowls, curses and rude gestures into smiles, cheery waves and a dose of hearty laughter with The Rider Method.

Is it rocket science? No

Is it revolutionary? Not really

Is it easy? Very

Does it work? Absolutely!

Riders will entertain you with an irreverent, lighthearted look at the amazing variety of ridiculous behavior going on out there on the road, as it delivers practical lessons in safe, civilized driving habits. You'll discover how much happier we all can be when we share a few laughs with our fellow motorists while we let go of our crabbier, more self-destructive ways and follow a new path to driving sanity.

About this title

About the Author

Patricia Rider Bermon is not a professional driver. Ask any of her passengers! But she is an award-winning author and advocate for peace on the road through salubrious driving habits (that's healthy and safe, not slow). And a shortage of professional credentials or ace driving skills absolutely does not mean she lacks familiarity with the world of driving. Far from it. Patricia brings to the subject more years than she's admitting to of experience behind the wheel in 44 states, 15 countries and a variety of languages. She volunteers as a driver safety instructor, and listens gladly to endless traffic stories and complaints, from the Rider family truckers to a husband and friends who are, shall we say, different drivers! They have opened her eyes to what life on the road looks like from other points of view, and supplied a rich assortment of clues that revealed the secrets of The Rider Method - secrets she is happy to share with you.
