What's the big deal with highway driving? It's easy as hell, especially when
compared to surburban driving. Sure, you're moving faster, but you don't have
to worry about some kid jumping into the highway to get his ball. All you have
to worry about is staying in your lane basically. There are so many distractions
that you must stay alert at all times in the suburbs. Simple things like cars
backing out of driveways or parking spots suddenly or even hidden stop signs.
The hardest part of highway driving is staying awake.
