The problem isn't the driving -- I'm a fairly relaxed driver. It's that when I am reading/listening to a book, I will find myself concentrating on the book to the exclusion of the world around me. Very likely, you all know people who while reading are totally oblivious to the world around them. My spiritual cousins. If the book isn't worth tuning the rest of the world out, it really not worth reading.
Trust me, those are not the people you want listening to an audio book while driving.
