Default Diving a car for the first time in weeks feels weird

Anyone else have this experiance? A couple months ago I hadn't driven my car in about a month b/c the weather was nice so I always rode everywhere. I had to pick up my girlfriend to the airport one day so I took my car. It felt really weird driving and I kept feeling like I was getting too close to the other lanes so I was really paranoid when ppl were beside me. I have ridden for years and that was the first time that happend...just wondering if ne1 else has ever had a similar experiance.

No, it just felt like the damn thing was too big to fit in one lane (a Corolla) lol

I feel distracted when I drive. It's too relaxed and comfortable. I'm always compretely focused when I ride because of everyone around me and a slight error can down me. I don't like driving a cage anymore.

I also understand the whole lane thing. I keep trying to pull closer to one side or another to get a view on who's behind me and if they're stopping. People give me wierd looks because I'm always 2 car lengths away from the person in front of me.

The biggest thing that bothers me driving a car now is the lack of visibility.

The only thing that bothers me when I get back in my car is the lack of damn power.
