David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles. Dr. Roadmap continues to provide COMMUTE MANAGEMENT solutions with the 2006 release of his book, "Survive the Drive! How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California."

Host: What is the appropriate way to brake?
David Rizzo: Gently, in fact you can save maybe 2-3% of your gas economy just by coasting at the stop signs. Lot of people want to race up to the next red light, that's a waste of energy just coast. In fact so great is that energy that hybrids use Regenerative Braking Systems to capture it. Now if you are driving a hybrid, okay you have a little leeway to go a little faster up to the stop sign, but for the rest of us the other 95% coast up to the signs. You can get a lot better gas mileage.
