My singing teacher had a head-on collision with someone. I can't imagine that she was doing anything stupid or irresponsible. There have been lots of musicians who've died in traffic or travel-related accidents; presumably not because they practiced in the car, but because musicians have to travel. I wonder whether the punishing schedule of a touring musician might have something to do with it; driving when tired, driving too long, etc.

I haven't driven since 2001, not having a car. I never drove very often in Germany and I've never gotten used to the aggressive way people drive here and the carelessness of drivers toward pedestrians.
