    This morning I passed a swift truck on 64 east in west Virginia, and that girl looked like she was about to pass out from not breathing and from gripping the steering wheel like something was just going to go horribly wrong if she didn't have every ounce of strength dedicated to the task. Now I'm not going to say "relax and stop paying attention" but that was way too much stress for that early in the morning. You're not going to do yourself any favors by getting a heart attack from all that stress.

    Having diarrhea would cause the same look if there's no place to run.

    Maybe she was stressing from a heavy load with all those hills and trying to make a Plus-1 schedule that she didn't account and adjust for?

    I really don't think that very many new drivers are trained for the Plus-1 program, and how to deal with it.
    That is enough to stress out any new driver.
