Shot Glass Thought: Not Paying Attention While Driving

Of all the tasks that require your full attention, driving is probably the most important.That being said, I never pay attention while driving. It's just too boring. I could be in 5 lanes of traffic and be surrounded on all sides by mac trucks with methed out drivers and I would still be day dreaming. I don't text and drive, I don't drink and drive, I don't eat behind the wheel or fuck with my phone. I just day dream about having super powers or what the future will be like and think about pretty much anything except the road. I took one look when I was pulling out into traffic and saw that I couldn't make it. But I was so unengaged mentally that I took off anyway and then slammed on my breaks to prevent a five care pileup. I got several horns and middle fingers shined my way but I wasn't fazed. I was thinking about flying like Superman to work each day and having the ability to carry my trays of food and drink with only my mind. A psychic, superhero server/bartender that only uses his powers to make living. That is the comic book that is playing in my head when I'm behind the wheel.
