Nice. When I drive I have to be totally concentrated on driving. It became so dangerous in the last years. I am just able to listen to music, or to the radio. Having to rewind or to do anything that is not checking the road ahead, the rear mirror, the incoming traffic and its dynamic, the cars following and their dynamic, both sides of the road, the road itself. The only thing that I do unconsciously is the actual handling of the car. It is also that with age, the reflexes have been slackening a bit, so I need to anticipate more and more the possibilities.
