Correct answer
Yes.
Smoking while driving can cause distractions for the driver, making them more likely to have an accident. This happens for several reasons: 1. Reduced ability to manoeuvre: Smoking requires one hand to hold, light and handle the cigarette, reducing the driver’s ability to manoeuvre the vehicle efficiently. 2. Additional distractions: Smokers may become distracted while looking for the tobacco packet, taking out the cigarette, lighting it and tapping the ash, which diverts their attention from the road. 3. Vision problems: Cigarette smoke can cause vision problems, affecting clarity and the ability to see the surroundings properly. 4. Reduced attention: Carbon monoxide generated by tobacco can reduce the driver’s level of attention and concentration, affecting their ability to assess traffic situations correctly.
