Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 30, 2017

You pay better attention to people and equipment in the road.

And not hearing the traffic reporters on the radio sounding like scam artists (in other words, talking very fast).

I will test that theory today and report back.

When traffic is bad, etc., I always turn off the radio. As GWEEDO said, you can pay attention better.

When I drove, I always kept the radio off.

Unless you are a teenager wearing headphones. Then you turn up the volume to drown out the traffic noise and other drivers cussing at you.

When I turn down radio, I can hear sirens better, workers yelling warnings, construction vehicles beeping as they back up, wife being back seat driver….

I text better when the radio is turned down. ; )

My mother never used the rear view mirrors. Said she’d already been there and didn’t need to see it again!!!

I do too ! It really does help me focus
