Question 99

What causes more distractions while driving?

  1. Listening to the radio.
  2. Looking at signs.
  3. Using a cell phone.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Using a cell phone.

Talking on a cell phone diverts attention and can cause signs to be missed or responses to be delayed. This is why it is more distracting than simply listening to the radio.
