Yeah, this is not OK. Most folks who ride a lot find that their driving gets better because they pay more attention to the road and their surroundings. Being careful not to get killed on a bike concentrates the mind. For a while I was having trouble seeing over my shoulder and turning around in the seat to back up. Upper body work at the gym took care of that.

OTOH, driving is more dangerous now for everyone. People run stop signs, go through red lights, drive at 90 on the freeway changing lanes constantly, do all sorts of objectionable things. I don't go on the green any more until I've looked both ways. Almost been hit too many times by nutcases.

If you're having trouble seeing at night, you may have cataracts. We should all see an optometrist every year after we're 60.
