Driving consciously is bound to be less safe. Any activity you’ve done a thousand times, if you start overthinking what you’re doing, you make more mistakes.

That's complete nonsense, i didn't say overthinking but absolutely you should be paying attention. You're actually arguing that not consciously doing things is safer? Pay attention, when you a speed limit sign, follow it. That's all I'm asking for, that's not overthinking. In fact speeding is overthinking, "sign says 40 but im good to go 45 or even 47". THAT is overthinking.
