I no longer look while I'm driving. The road distracts me from looking to what's going on. It's fascinating.
I don't want to call it hallucinations, but it's exactly like them, only different. When I take the turn that is neither wide nor narrow, as I pass the house on the edge, the driveway of the next looks like there are deer jumping out from the driveway.
As I slowly pass the occasional mailbox, it looks like a person walking out into the road. It's usually an old man walking, but it'll occasionally be some drunk girl, who looks around twenty three. Either way, it appears like I'm going to hit them, but I never slow down.
The lake will have things looking back at me, or have something on the water's surface, usually a great phosfleurescent green tree outline which will span the entire lake.
Strange rattling noises, the sound of the engine suddenly cutting out, the sound of something moving around in the back when I know it's empty, and a loud popping noise are just some of the noises that happen, and those were the more normal ones.
When I get in, there will be a stranger in the back seat. When I get out, the door is taken off by a truck going well above the speed limit, and I just so happen to be between the door and the truck. I see white particles of something flying out from the passenger fan, so I turn it upwards, because I like to feel like it's snowing.
I really hate driving.

Ah. You mean either "phosphorescent" or "fluorescent". Gotcha. Fleurescent isn't in the dictionary, but by breaking it down I think it's derived from a french word and, near as I can tell, means "displaying the habits or manners of a flower".

You're damn close, but it's not quite the way I'm using it.

There's hell to pay when the meth starts wearing off.

Apparently someone's taken Hunter S. Thompson to the Pet Sematary.
Also: "phosfleurescent" ...the fuck?

Phosfleurescent
fleurescent light. You'll see it in lightbulbs as an example
phos - Phosphorous - Online Etymology Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This
phosphorous
1629, "the morning star," from L. Phosphorus "morning star," from Gk. Phosphoros "morning star," lit. "torchbearer," from phos "light" + phoros "bearer," from pherein "to carry" (see infer). Meaning "substance or organism that shines of itself" is attested from 1645. As the name of a non-metallic chemical element ["Accidentally obtained from urine in 1669 by Brandt, an alchemist of Hamburg, in the course of his search for the philosophers' stone." OED], it is recorded from 1680.

Stonefish
Most venomous fish known. Up to 12 inches long, perfectly camouflaged, it looks very much like a stone. Only dangerous if stepped on or caught. The dorsal spines can piece through a shoe. The pain is excruciating and can last for months with tremendous swelling and death of tissues. Amputation might be required. If not treated, stonefish stings can often be deadly.

No need to insult Mr. Thompson over all this!

I heard that happens when you do a lot of meth. It's not uncommon to hallucinate that there are people in the trees and bushes staring at you. I always the tell person to try to remember "it's just the drugs". That can be bad if you're driving, though, because it might really be a pedestrian.
I liked your description though; it was kind of pretty in a spooky way.

Sometimes I get a kick out of taking a summer evening drive, really fast on my motorbike, and letting bugs smash me in the face.
