Your driving habits are harder to spot than you think, and one challenge proves it. You commit to a single drive with zero traffic laws broken. Full stop at every sign. Signal before every lane change. Speed limit, nothing over. You don’t make it out of the first parking lot.

There is a specific kind of frustration that builds when you can see someone else doing exactly what you do behind the wheel. The tailgater is wrong. You also know you have been that person, in a different car, on a different day. The gap between the driver you think you are and the driver your habits have made you is usually one honest drive wide.

The seven-day challenge is still out there if you want it. One honest drive is all it takes to find the gap between who you think you are behind the wheel and who you actually are. Pull out of the driveway and find out.
