My gf is the opposite of me, she'll need to be talking to someone the whole 
time to stay concentrated.  When she drives by herself she says that she 
easily loses concentration on the road.  It's then hard when I'm driving at 
160 km/hr and some guy pulls out ahead doing 110 to overtake a truck doing 
80 while some guy behind is doing 200, and she's trying to hold a full on 
conversation with me!

Hehe my gf is like that too, now I play the game where when she says 
"Brake!" I see if actually I can get away with not braking at all and not 
crash, surprisingly a few times I can, and then she says "Oh I thought they 
were stopped up there".  But then she was also surprised when I told her I 
usually look about 10 cars up the road so can see if they are really 
stopping or not.
