Oh, I don't drive. I've had WAYYYYY too many accidents to feel comfortable behind the wheel for long. Although it's been suggested that a complicated system of mirrors could compensate.

Actually I know a couple people who have mono-vision--that is, their eyes don't function together, which makes it hard for them to perceive distance or see things in 3-D. They both function normally too.
OK so I can't prove I have this, but put it this way - I estimate nearly 40% of my right field of vision is not consciously available to me (due to hemispatial neglect) and yet I can function fairly normally. It's either compensation from other parts of my brain, or the visual stimuli is still getting in there some other way.
Ha! Forgot to check this page/recent comments, thus proving my own point.
I suspect a gnat's attention span is less than that of a goldfish (famously reported as 3 seconds).
Well, that's handy.
Exactly how long is the attention span of a gnat, anyway? Inquiring minds....
I try to worry about everything at once, but I have the attention span of a gnat, so I end up being a niche worrier by default.
Oh no! Another niche worrier.
Ah, recursion.

I think it's highly possible, arby. The brain can do amazing things.
