[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 331314, member: 4653"] Its funny you mention this, becuase I drive with the doors closed whenever possible on the highway. Its not that I'm afraid to leave them open. I wish I could leave them both open 12 months of the year. The problem I face is getting dust in my eyes. This becomes very frustrating when you have to cover one eye while driving 65 MPH, and I aslo get nervous from this lack of visbilty. This maybe just a problem for a small minority. I have very sensitive eyes, nose, and throat. During pollen season I could break out into a 30 second sneezing fit that would distract me terribly from the task at hand. So, when driving on the highway I always keep the passenger side door shut. I also keep my door shut when possible but it becomes difficult in June, July, and August. I sometimes avoid the highway all together when possible so I can pull over safely if I have a sneezing fit. This allergy really hinders me from practicing some of the 5 seeing habits. If I left my doors open I probably couldn't "get the big picture", "keep my eyes moving", and "make sure they see you". With my eyes and nose swelled up, I would be focused on this instead of the road. So, with all that said, I sweat my but off in the name of being safe, and when I read from Danny that he witnessed a UPS driver not wearing a seatbelt, I just can't believe it! I think it should be at least a suspension for a first offense. Sorry for the rant, Brownie:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
