I don't understand that at all, especially since I'm the opposite. I can drift off in thought a lot easier as a passenger than as a driver. I've driven across country alone and know one thing for sure, I never want to do that again.
I've flown across the country, driven and taken the bus (no train yet). The only problem I have with the bus is someone wanting to eat potato chips at 2 a.m. But that could be true on a plane just as well.
Anyway, you hear a lot more news with brawls on planes than anywhere else. The gestapo treatment is why I'm not a big fan of planes right now.
