    Again, I don’t get it. For starters, driving is a great time to reset and decompress. More than simply walking through a doorway. It’s time to purge your brain of anything sordid in your day, like work. Distance happens, physically and mentally.

    You leave work, there’s a good book, or good music, you, and the road. Why would you let calls or texts interrupt that?
