You spend more time negotiating than you do driving to work each day. Most of us take our driving seriously: We've studied, practiced, and taken a driving test. We have a license, insurance, a car, and a fancy navigation system; we know the rules of the road, and we hope that people who disobey those rules will get pulled over and ticketed.
