Which of these factors encourages distraction while driving?

  1. An unfamiliar road.
  2. An excessively simple traffic situation.
  3. An excessively complex traffic situation.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: An excessively simple traffic situation.

According to DGT manuals, when traffic is very simple and monotonous, with few incidents and maneuvers, drivers drive routinely, “automatically,” and let their guard down. A complex situation, by contrast, requires them to focus their attention on driving.
