Correct answer
A traffic situation excessively complex for the driver’s attention capacity.
A traffic situation demanding attention to more stimuli than the driver can process. The DGT describes this as perceptual stress; it can hinder noticing information needed for safe driving. This does not mean every busy traffic situation causes distraction or establish a universal ranking of frequent causes. Slow down when necessary, allow more safety margin and avoid tasks unrelated to driving.
