  10 seconds may be a lot or a little, depending on what you were doing. Humans are bad at grayscale rules and time estimation, so it's far safer to say "you're either a passenger or a driver" than to say "you're either a passenger or a driver or a person doing something that can easily be switched away from in 10 seconds". A few examples of activities that could be hard to switch away from in time: * Eating breakfast with food in my lap and the spoon halfway to my mouth. * Typing an email. * Reading a book. Some of these could allow you to physically have your hands on the wheel in time, but then you still need to context switch your brain and then get up to date on the road.
