Driving doesn't,
indeed can't, require 100% concentration. You'd never get to work..

How would concentrating on driving prevent arrival at a
destination... ?

You really are an idiot. *If it took 100% concentration to drive, you couldn't
GET EVEN THAT FAR, moron.

That's merely repeating your assertion. *The question is "how".

You obviously can't read. *No one can give 100% concentration to *anything*
for long periods. *It's physically impossible.

Your cite seems to be missing...



Funny that the guy who 10 posts later still has no reference
at all to support his claim, now demands a reference for this?
First, in the context of the discussion where you claimed most
drivers are driving distracted, the distractions listed were
serious ones:

"texting, sexting, blogging, twittering, chatting, updating
Fecesbook or applying makeup"

Now if you want to shift the discussion not from those specific
ones or similar SERIOUS distractions, to ANY situation
where a driver is not 100% focused only on driving,
then KRW is right. No one could drive for say 5 miles,
giving 100% attention, unless perhaps it were some
experiment where they knew that was their specific task.
And even then, it likely wouldn't work, because, well they
would also be thinking about the experiment, what they
were told to do, etc.


Let's say I'm thinking about which route to take 10 miles ahead.
Ergo, I'm no longer focused 100% on the immediate task of driving.
Or say I'm wondering what the weather will be like where I'm
going. My attention is now split between that and driving and
no longer 100% focused on driving.

So, yeah, if in an attempt to dig yourself out of your hole you
want to try to expand the definition of distracted to that
level, then I agree with KRW, nobody could drive for more
than extremely short periods with 100% concentration.
But then the claim taken in context was never about that,
It was about serious distractions while driving.
