I tend to drive relatively little, visit fairly few distinct places, and generally take the same route each time I visit them. I'm also not a huge fan of night driving. I don't think I drive particularly slowly or make too many abrupt changes (I've never had an accident involving another car, am never the slowest one on the freeway, and have never had a complaint from any of my passengers).
The interesting part for me here is that these behaviors do, in fact, reflect a neurological issue I have with visual/spatial processing. In a nutshell, I get lost easily, because it takes me much more time to associate visual landmarks with a travel route than the typical human. I suspect my dog has a far, far better sense of direction than do I. :P
I'm not even close to old enough to have preclinical signs of Alzheimer's, yet, but I shall have to remember to remind my doctors of my visual-spatial issues in a few decades when I am.
