You wouldn't want to ride with me, then.
I generally don't secure the seatbelt until I'm moving forward. Not sure why, but I've always done it.
I'll mess with the rearview mirror often, as my position in the seat may shift, and I can't stand it when the view in the mirror isn't centered.
As for the radio... I channel surf like mad. 40 presets and I'll scan through them all before deciding on something that I never stay on very long. My wife can, not, stand it. lol But, the radio controls are on the steering wheel, so doing so isn't a distraction.
In the past, when I drove any of my vehicles that had a manual transmission, I had a habit of rattling the gearshift at stoplights. People who rode with me didn't like that either.
My current car won’t start unless m wearing my seat belt.
You need to get a streaming audio service - you only need one playlist. No commercials. No blather. Just the music you requested. Surfing is no longer relevant
Oh I do. I have quite a few Spotify playlists, including one that contains every track from every album I've ever owned, with a few hundred single tracks thrown in.
It's about 10k tracks in total, played on shuffle, and I still surf.
"Nope, not in the mood... Nope.. Next... Come on, give me something good... Nope... Ah, finally."
So I'm a truck driver and I've found that music just can't keep my attention, I don't know if you'd be into it but audiobooks are the only way I can avoid doing this because I gotta know what happens next and if I switch it up I can't find out until later.

My brother once drove 60mph down a winding narrow mountain road one-handed while sipping tea. Cool story to tell now that i say it like that, but i can assure you it was not cool to be in the passenger seat at the time
Everything!
Puttimg their seatbelt on after they start driving. Driving the car with the driver begging center of the lane rather than the car being center of the lane.
