It is different in that it takes a different level of concentration.
Any, do you really want an 18 wheeler barreling down the hill into your town with the driver doing any of those things?
I dont do those things while driving because they are illegal in my state.
You dont do what? Eat a hamburger while driving? Ever heard of a drive-through? Do you talk to somebody sitting next to you? Everyone drives while theyre distracted. Not being distracted at some level guarantees thats the driver will be sleepy at some point. Being overly distracted is the danger. Texting while driving is obviously overly distracted. But fiddling with your radio or pulling the CD out of your console Its not illegal in any state that I know of and I doubt seriously its illegal in Vermont.
