SEE THEM EVERYDAY — speed demons and
aggressive drivers who bully their way through
traffic. According to the Insurance Information
Institute, the culprits are usually under the
age of 55. Still, a question remains: Just

System has opened a new Driving Safety Laboratory
that helps identify drivers’ strengths
and weaknesses and suggests ways to compensate
for any weaknesses, according to Daniel Cox,
assistant professor of Behavioral Medicine
in U.Va.’s Department of Psychiatric
Medicine and director of the driving
safety
lab. Full

to pay for uncovered health care expenses
or dependent care expenses, such as day care
or summer camp. Flexible spending accounts
are an effective measure for putting away money
to cover annual costs, but many are unfamiliar
with the details of the program,
according to Linda Way-Smith, U.Va.’s director
of employee
benefits.
