Default Driving is very taxing

I have started driving in the last couple of months. I only drive when there is no traffic and I am feeling o.k.

One issue I have is the ability to multi task, when driving you have to be looking at 3 different mirrors, the road ahead, the speedometer and god help me if I need to turn up the heat or put on the defroster.

I also have post traumatic vision syndrome and the movement on my eyes while driving give me sore and burning eyes after about 1/2 hour.

I am going to take some driving lessons to see if I can develop some strategies to lesson my symptoms while driving. A talking car would be nice. In the interim I have my children giving instructions.

Good luck, it is really inconvient not to drive.
