I have spent many years doing long distance travelling, as well as short trips. I have found the talk-back radio so distracting when driving but so many have gotten to work and have said "Did you here so-and-so on the radio today talking about the ....?"
I drive and I concentrate on the road and what is around me. There are so many idiots on the road that I need to concentrate on them rather than the airwaves. Too many crashes occur because of some distraction.
And I do have a form of attention deficit syndrome. I don't need distractions when my own safety is concerned, let alone my loved ones.
I can easily get lost in a book and lose all sense of time. All so often I have looked at the clock at 4am and need to get a couple of hours sleep before driving the hour (75kms) to work.
Need to get a job where my interlectual pursuits come first.
