If the only thing keeping you awake at the wheel is having the radio on, rather than driving you should be having a break (for some people, a coffee and a micro-nap will work wonders).
- makeitdouble 5y agoI see it as a scale, where having the radio on or not could push a few point more regarding engagement in the task. The same way someone shouldn't be driving if they're dead tired, but even if they're in an alert state, drinking a cup of coffee can sharpen them a bit more.
- nicoburns 5y agoAgreed, if it's the only thing keeping you awake, but plenty of people find it easier to concentrate on a task if there is also a "distraction". It's like when school children fiddle with a pen to help them concentrate. The teacher might think it's a sign that they're not paying attention, but actually it's enabling them to pay attention.
