If it is of any interest. Each week I make a 400 mile round journey 
mostly on motorways. At the end of the outward leg I find that it is 
difficult to focus on anything closer than, about 15 yards. As I travel 
at speed and I am mostly concentrating on the road about a quarter to a 
half mile ahead. On the homeward leg the traffic is much denser so my 
speed is less and my point of concentration is closer. I don’t notice 
that phenomenon.
