By the time you look back up you've gone as far as a football field and you hardly realize it. But what you do realize is that you passed McDonalds to get those french fries; so you turn around and get your fries. Realize the on going issue here? People are driving distracted, and it's not very safe, you probably drive distracted and don't even realize it.
