Is driving a kind of meditation?

I have had a pretty long day today. 4 hours of the day was spent driving more than 200kms. As I drove a lot today this question came to my mind.
I drove this same 200kms more than 6 times if I am not wrong. Every time I drive this same road I notice a lot of different new things. Sometimes I feel like I am not paying attention to the road and only to things around me. I am actually not doing that. I am in complete control but I do feel like my body is driving while my soul is enjoying.
I believe a lot of drivers have a similar feeling. Let me know if you do. That’s why I believe driving could be a form of meditation. Which might make you ask the question, what is meditation? You can google the definition. But personally, I believe whenever you focus all your attention on one single thing, you are in a state of meditation. Regardless of what activity you do.
I think that is why although I am not paying attention to the road I am in complete control. I can enjoy my drive while enjoying the road. If you want to know about my trip you can follow my Instagram rash__eeq.
