That's what I'd like to think. What I'd LOVE actually would be if there was a way to be tested - to find out of it's all in my head, or if there are some people who, by focusing more on the road than their call, can drive unimpaired. I realize though that it's human nature to think that oneself is different and "special".

I like that idea!
