If we're driving subconsciously, we and the rest of society are in serious trouble. I am more focused when driving than most other tasks during the day...
Front close sweep, front far sweep, rear view mirror, left side view, right side view, do I need to check blinds...repeat...intersection approaching DANGER AREA...check left then right for red light runners and pedestrians..blow through it faster than normal speed...slow down a bit..front close sweep, front far...
Yeah, I'm paranoid...helps keep you on the edge of awareness where you need to be. I also pay close attention to exactly what I'm ding while driving, steering wheel manipulation, throttle response and lag time, while thinking through every possible worst-case scenario that could happen in that moment.
My thoughts while driving would terrify everyone if they could see what I see...could make a great Final Destination movie.
