Driving in silence

I always had to listen to some kind of music while driving but for the past couple of months I've been driving in complete silence. I've been telling myself it's just my preferences are changing and I don't mentally feel any different but is this a sign of something?

Made the conversion years ago. Primarily I think because of the deterioration of radio; who needs more noise and screaming heads in their lives? But once I did, I began to appreciate the relative silence and what a distraction radio, tapes, CDs, whatever, can be as well as shutting out the sounds you should be paying attention to while driving. Call in aging with its diminished hearing and multitasking skills, or maturing and recognizing the full responsibilities of driving.
