lots of angry drivers round a certain part of my commute, making me imagine being a victim to some form of stupidity or another. so as i ride to work, i play little memory games with the cars that pass. i get the license plate number and vehicle description (along with any other available descriptions) in my head, and then i whisper them out to myself 10 seconds later. its a simple way to improve your memory while also giving you peace of mind knowing that youll be able to bring the heat down on the next guy that throws a dirty diaper at you.

anyone do similar things?

I do the same thing minus saying it out loud. Around here there are enough bad drivers for me to just remember the licence plates of the bad ones (a college town full of bad college drivers and the rest are really old people from florida). It's a fun game to play. Peace.

Nope. If you're drivers are as bad as ours (and I'm yet to ever venture anywhere that is the case), you'll need all the concentration you can muster.
