When you’re not responsible for driving, you have full awareness of the peripheral view.
When driving at highway speeds, you tend to get tunnel-vision, focusing your attention on what’s further down the road, and reducing your effective field of view. This has several interesting effects, including messing with your perception of speed and time, and slowing reactions to nearby hazards.

It's not being slowed down, changing the FoV (field of view) changes how fast you feel you're moving. Source: I play video games
