I like to pass quickly because I don't enjoy driving. I have to focus on the road so I don't get into an accident. I'll be happy once we get to out destination.
Maybe a lot of people feel that way. Unfortunately today people see driving as a chore instead of as a nice slice of time when you can relax and enjoy taking a journey and seeing the world. Maybe other people don't get as much out of scenery as I do - but I like taking my time and not feeling rushed.
Yea I must admit the scenery usually isn't that great for where I drive. And when it is nice either I am driving at least 100km/h or there is a lot of fast moving traffic. It's just hard for me to enjoy it when I'm too afraid to cause an accident.
Well the local scenery where I drive is mostly just houses and fields, but the mountains around here (Utah) are amazing and drinking it all in is just a great thing I love to experience. I do recommend always paying strict attention to the road and traffic, though - that should come first no matter what.
That sounds beautiful, hopefully I get to enjoy that once. Some American roads do hit differently, in Europe though they are harder to find. That is without too much traffic.
Here in Salt Lake, our valley is surrounded by beautiful mountains, so no matter what direction you go there's something great to look at. They're very orange and yellow right now with all the autumn colors. But soon enough - covered in snow. But we do have a lot of traffic, more and more people are moving here. The only downside is, the mountains trap the fog and pollution so in the winter, we get a lot of unhealthy bad air days.
