Correct answer
Yes, they do distract the driver.
The factors that can distract the driver are varied and range from their psychophysical condition to the driver's own behaviour. These factors include fatigue, drowsiness, stress, anxiety, the consumption of alcohol, drugs or medicines, among others. In addition, certain behaviours require the driver's prolonged attention, which can result in distraction, such as using a mobile phone, looking at a map or GPS, operating the audio equipment, among others. Children can also distract the driver because they require special attention and care during the journey. Therefore, to drive safely, it is essential for the driver to focus exclusively on driving and minimise any distracting factor.
