I'm all for mindful driving, but why would I need to pay $15 to learn how?

I wonder if there's a course on mindful beach cruiser riding
"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed & cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."
"I don't envision a single thing that, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about such suffering & stress as the mind. The mind, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about suffering & stress."

I would certainly hope everyone was awake at the wheel
could not resist sorry.
I hope there are not too many people about driving on autopilot, and are actually paying attention to what they are doing though.
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!
