Hi Poppy. I'm new to the forum also. I find concentration and loosing track of time to be two of my problems. I was in a very minor accident because of this. I was getting ready to pull out from the curb, checked for traffic, and then wasn't sure how I was going to turn around. Needless to say, during my hesitation a car came around the corner. He was going pretty fast and he may have been partly to blame but I took responsibility because I really wasn't sure how much time was involved. Luckily it was very minor.
Now when I drive, I make sure to check for cars twice before making a move. I've trained myself not to be distracted by always forcing my attention back. Also, my children know not to talk to me when I'm driving. I hope you're able to take steps to make certain you're a safe driver. Take care.
