Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Because you hope your ears could see where you are heading.

So you can concentrate better. If you have too much stimuli, you brain can not process it as well. You are having to watch traffic, signs, drive and remember the directions. You will drive better if you do not have too much going on at once.

Oh my gosh that's hilarious! I noticed I did it AFTER I'd made fun of my mother for years for doing it! She would always shush us in the car when she was looking for some place to park or whatever!
