I have said for a LONG time, that eyes-on-road and hands-on-wheel (with the "hands-free methods) does NOT mean mind on-driving-task. I have used the van Putte method, and it WORKS. People can NOT multitask, any more than a single-core CPU can, and while one task is swapped out, it task will suffer, no matter how short the swap-time is.<br><br>On 12/8/2011 12:32 PM, J N Hiller wrote: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle24><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hear we go again!</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle24><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Keeping 'eyes on airplane' is of little benefit when the brain's concentration or thought is elsewhere.
