The sound of gravel under my wheels is a daily occurrence for me. I imagine the hum of pavement is all many hear from the moment they leave their house in the morning until they get home at the end of the day.
When you drive on a country road a few things happen. You are required to slow down the hidden imperfections of the uneven surfaces require you to look ahead…and look around. Driving too fast means you are kicking up too much dust and that isn’t the neighborly thing to do.
