I agree for the most part. But you cannot tell me you don't talk to others in the car, or reach for the air conditioner controls or a music CD.
Most drivers, including me, multitask to some degree. My objection isn't that it happens, but that the long term marketing of vehicles leads far too many to a false sense of security. Cars are far too often marketed as quick, agile and super human.
I have reached for the air conditioner controls, or a slot on the CD. I have reached for my lighter to light a smoke too. But the truth is your eyes should always be on he road, while in motion or stopped.
