Multi-tasking

Example 1

Dual-carriageway, traffic flowing at about 65 mph. A driver on the inside lane suddenly moves into the outside lane, slotting her car between another car and a large truck while rummaging around on the passenger seat, one hand on the steering-wheel.

Tasks achieved simultaneously.
Changing lanes.
In-car housekeeping.
Annoyed lorry-driver.

Example 2

A busy street, lots of pedestrians. A guy in an Audi Q7 drives down the road while staring out of the side window with one hand on the wheel and the other holding a cup of coffee.

Tasks achieved simultaneously
Personal refreshment.
Alarmed pedestrians.
Sightseeing.

Which one had the crash further down the track?

The first was the most likely to crash - drove like a nutter.
