In your opinion. A distraction is a distraction regardless if your playing with electronic toys, changing radio station, looking at a piece of paper or looking at your GPS which is mounted up on the dash board or in the Radio unit of your Toyota or BMW . You are still taking your eyes off of the road regardless. You can state that they are two different thing but in fact they are the same thing. If you take yours eyes off of the road and get into a accident it will be a high probability that you will be at fault and held liable for the accident. How could you justify that you were looking at your GPS unit or car radio when the accident occured therefore the accident should not be your fault. It is just as easy in the example listed in this thread that a person could be hit resulting in injury or dealth. It cannot be justified plain and simple. Like I stated earlier I believe that the blood pressure of many went up once that driver started using the cell phone in addition to the already distracted viewing of the Kindle.
