Shattered Sun

Just goes to show that without the email, I’m clueless.

1. Do you enjoy driving? Why or why not? I love driving, but I’m more of a fan of long distance driving than commuting. I enjoy seeing the scenery change and exploring roads I’ve never been down. I hate commuting because you never really see anything new and it’s always boring. And when it’s not boring, you wish it was, because accidents are horrible! I really need to go for a drive.

2. Have you ever been pulled over for speeding? What happened as a result of the incident? I have never been driving and pulled over for speeding. There have been a few times that I’ve been in the car when it was pulled over for speeding though. None of the times did the cop actually write a ticket out for it. Though once, passing through Kansas we got a warning. So if another cop pulled us over later, we’d definitely have received a ticket.

3. Would you ever consider a job that was based on driving (e.g., courier, pizza delivery driver)? Why or why not? Maybe, but unlikely because I really, really, really hate inner city driving. Maybe if it was a courier service to other cities or around the state or something. That might be fun.

4. What is your driving environment like? Do you listen to the radio while driving? Do you eat while behind the wheel? While it’s usually messy, I don’t typically eat behind the wheel. I like to drive with both hands on the wheel or one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter. So it’s a bit hard to eat like that. I used to drink a lot of soda while driving though. It’s always fun to take the lids off one handed and while not looking at them. As for the radio, I am a totally music kind of gal. So I’m usually playing it sorta loud and singing along. I usually sing along louder than the radio, much to the dismay of passing drivers and passengers.

5. How would you handle losing your driver’s license for a short period (say six months)? I currently don’t have one and I handle it pretty well. I’ve found that I can get to the store when I need to and if I really need something, I go get it without driving. Sometimes, I think that we drive a little too much and that’s part of the problem with overweight America. We just don’t get off our duffs enough!
