So, how do you turn a frustrating fiasco into a memory maker? First, ditch the rage. Instead, perform a car-themed talent show for the kids (or just yourself). Sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” at full volume—your car is your soundproof booth. No one can hear you, and it’s cathartic as anything.

Secondly, get curious about your surroundings. That field you’ve passed a hundred times? Now you can actually count the sheep or admire the intricate architecture of a roadside bush. You’ll discover the A303 is packed with hidden details you’ve zoomed past your whole life. Look! A signpost that’s slightly crooked! Thrilling.
