tips to help you stop dissociating while driving (based on experience and things that have worked for me):

• turn the radio up
  

• sing along to the radio

• remind yourself where you are, where you are going and where you are coming from.

• if you have your blinker on and it’s making noise try to focus on the sound (sounds weird but it’s helped me stay grounded)
  

• rub the steering wheel with your thumbs, focus on the texture and how it feels (but also keep your eyes on the road of course)
  

• roll the window down
  

• while still trying to stay focused on driving notice the colors of the cars around you, try to find all the red ones
  

if you start dissociating pretty heavily it would be a good idea to pull over where it will be safe, breathe, tell yourself where you are, start identifying objects around you outside and inside your car, breathe (do any other grounding techniques you might know of) and when you feel safe, safely get back on the road.
