As I mentioned on an earlier post, I think that today's drivers are less engaged in driving due to the ease of which cars are being built and developed. And because drivers are more passenger than driver now days that skill that goes with being able to drive is rapidly eroding. This will lead to more causal errors such as not checking blind sport or even a lack of spatial awareness (oh the car tells me if I am close to another). These things are the bread and butter of driving and not being able to have the skill will impact you on other areas. Just being aware of your surroundings is one draw back, something that needs to be pushed in this day and age of electronic devices that continually compete for our attention.
That is why I suggest everyone learn how to ride a bike. There are several reasons for this 1) its almost impossible to text and ride 2) requires focus and concentraction 3) you have to be mindful of everyone else. While not a complete listing of all the benefits, it is more dangerous than just driving a car, but the rewards for successfully riding a bike are something that you can never envision trapped inside of a car.
