Question

question 7
(7) future vehicle equipment that could cause a driver to become distracted includes:
a. voice activated controls
b. blind spot detectors
c. advanced navigation systems
d. all of the above.
question 8
(8) which one of these items is an example of a cognitive distraction?
a. picking up a cd off the floor.
b. watching a flashing billboard.
c. talking on your cell phone.
d. both a and c.

Explanation:

For Question 7:

Voice-activated controls require the driver to divert mental focus to interact with them, blind spot detectors can draw visual/mental attention away from the road, and advanced navigation systems require the driver to look at or process directions, all creating driver distraction.

For Question 8:

Cognitive distraction involves diverting mental attention from driving. Picking up a CD requires physical and mental focus away from driving, and talking on a cell phone occupies cognitive resources. Watching a billboard is a visual distraction, not cognitive.

Answer:

Question 7: D. All of the above.
Question 8: D. Both A and C.
