The biggest problem I sense these days with driving is the
problem that is part of a larger societal problem. Basically
it’s attention span. Before things got so digital and
multitasking I think people had no problem concentrating
on the task at hand. These days it’s just not possible for
many people and they need to be talking on the phone, texting, fiddling with the radio, eating, or doing whatever - just not focusing. I don’t think we as a society have the
attention span that we once had - and it shows.
I agree. An easy way to spot people with a short attention span is when they’re stopped at a stoplight. The ones with short attention span keep creeping forward a foot or two then stopping as if that is somehow going to make the light turn green. But then they suddenly forget that they’re in a hurry. When the light turns green, everybody in the other lane blows right past them while they’re sitting there messing with the radio or whatever. Weird people.
