As we all know, admiring beautiful scenery or dramatic building is putting drivers at risk, factly, it is difficult to ignore theat stunning view on the road when you arrive at a new place, especially in countryside.
What's your opinion?
Do you pay attention to attractive view on the road when you are driving?

No. I watch where I am going and only take in the views if someone else is driving. I am always afraid to hit something or someone if I take my eyes off of the road.

Your welcome. I hate it when people talk on the cell phone too and don't pay attention to what they are doing.

I do pay close attention while driving even if we are out of our area. If I want to see the scenery, my husband drives. He's not as interested as I am in viewing pretty scenery. My driving record is excellent and don't want to ruin it if at all possible.

I hate it when I arrive at a new place and I'm the one driving. I can't concentrate on the while looking at the beauty. Sometimes if I really want to take a look I will pull over and take it all in.

How wise it is.
It is very safe to pull over and enjoy the countryside.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Yeah it is very interesting to look at the countryside and see all of the sights, but really, when you are on the road, you need to keep both eyes firmly on the road and your full attention on it. Perhaps there will be a time where you go through that area, when you are riding in the car as a passenger, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the scenes.
However, there is a responsibility that drivers must take. They need to keep their eyes firmly on the road and keep themselves on task. Some of those country roads or any roads for that matter, can have some twists and turns, that you really need to be attentive about. Therefore I try to pay attention but I think that I am the exception to that rule.
