Managing scheduled DND while driving

I've set up a scheduled mode on my Pixel 9 / Android 16 called "sleeping" that mutes everything on my phone from 9pm to 7am. Occasionally I'm driving when 9pm rolls around and whatever I'm listening to is muted. I can pull out my phone and fiddle with the dropdown to disable it, but I'd like a safer fix so I don't have to use my phone while driving. Things I'm thinking:

  1. Can the scheduled sleeping mode not activate if it knows I'm driving?

  2. Can I create a button shortcut on the AA menu to turn off sleeping mode so it'd be easy to undo it at 9pm? I tried an "assistant action" but my prompt to "turn off sleeping mode" was met with a "I don't understand" from AA. If there's some magic words I need to use here I'd appreciate the guidance.

I also tried adding AA to the list of excluded apps from the Sleeping mode but that didn't help.

If it matters, the primary app I would be using in AA is Spotify.

Thanks!

Faller PPE

I'm not a Faller but I have a need for the appropriate protective pants and head / face / ear protection. Is there a place locally that sells this stuff? Or if not locally, in Vancouver? Thanks!

Track Day Readiness

I'm signed up for a 2 day track driving course in July. I'll be driving my 2025 Black Edition, which is entirely stock. By the time the course rolls around, I'll have about 25,000km on the odometer. The stock 19" Hankook summers will have about half of that mileage on them. I've done recommended oil changes thus far, but nothing else mechanical (I've had the car since June 2025).

I'm wondering what the recommended prep would be to minimize the risk of mechanical issues? The location of the track could be an upwards of 40 degrees Celsius (105F) in July.

Thanks!

Batter hits a ground ball and touches the orange safety base attempting to beat the throw. The first baseman misses the throw but the ball stays in play. Can the runner attempt to advance to 2nd base having only touched the orange base or do they need to touch the white base first before attempting to advance?

This is in Canada under SPN rules, if that's relevant.
