You can drive for miles barely paying attention. On thephone, lost in a thought, halfway somewhere else. And then a cop pulls upbehind you — and suddenly you're wide awake.

Here's the part nobody admits: we could be that awakeanytime we want. We just don't. Because being awake is uncomfortable.

This episode is about the truths we'd rather not look at,and why we'd sometimes rather keep dreaming than hear that we're headed thewrong way.

Part of A Drive Thru Life — everydaydriving as a mirror for how we think, how we treat people, and where our livesare actually headed. One drive at a time.
