But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are.” ThinkingLittlesHelpingProblemCausesClearFocusMissingTelevisionListeningBecomingNewsConceptsAddRadioMythDrivingEaseGet AwayDriversDistractionRelativeThreateningFatigueDistractedInner LifeLureMultitaskingMulti TaskingTelevision News Author:Tom Vanderbilt

“I was not interested at all in Formula One when I left; I was very busy with my airline. But slowly I started missing the adrenaline rush and the driving of such fantastic cars at the limit. In reality this urge never disappears when you're a top driver, because I think we're a different breed of people, we need to take chances, we need to push ourselves to the limit all the time, that sort of thing. It stays with you, although you can kill it by losing motivation or other things in your life, but it never leaves you forever.” PeopleThinkingNeedsDifferentRealityMotivationLeftChanceForeverCarMissingLimitsLosingBusyDisappearDrivingFantasticUrgesDriversFormulasNot InterestedTake A ChanceAirlineAdrenalineFormula OneAdrenaline Rush Author:Niki Lauda
