Ray, mindfully watching the road ahead is quite different from mindlessly staring at the road ahead.

You are right that it is evolutionarily advantageous to ensure one's kinetic energy isn't converted to heat against a seat belt, or rapidly approaching crushed frontal section of the vehicle.

Some of the more talented of us can change gears, double declutch , steer around a corner through a crowded intersection, and chat to a passenger, or handsfree cellphone, while chewing gum, simultaneously. Some people can't keep a vehicle with automatic transmission on a straight road.

Mqurice.
