Greetings from the Critique Club
First Impressions:
These shots always draw a WOW from me I first see them. Yours, as a negative image is even more so. I'm a "does the title work" type gal so that was the next thing and I loved it....the title and the modern day gps just clicked with me. What I got out of the complete picture was, "Our societies today are so fast pace, we really need to slow down."
From reading your notes I don't think you were trying to drive home any "lessons" with this shot but it did for me.
Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
First of all, I don't understand the composition cause you are on the wrong side of your car! - just kidding ;-) The composition is really good. Someone mentioned that the rearview blocked their view but I don't see it as a problem. For me it looks exactly as it should. The somewhat tilted dash agains the curvy road just works! The negative color works well in this photo.
Challenge:
You were right on target with this.
Artistic/Emotion:
Very well done artistically. And emotionally, well as explained above in "First Impressions" it did speak to me on an emotional level. I feel that for the most part we "drive" ourselves too hard in our day to day lives and your shot just underscored that for me.
Summary:
I believe you did a good job with this. You were looking for a mid-5 in your score so I'd say that you accomplished your goal. And you had a good overall effect.

| I like the link in the image from the GPS display and the winding road ahead. The rear-view mirror is blocking my view a bit. Do you have any shots directly over the driver's shoulder, looking out over the steering wheel? |

| It's amazing how the dark, and usually less visible portion of positive images, is so clear and visible in the negative version. And even in negative, I love motion blur. Well done, even if you're driving on the wrong side of the car... |
