I strongly believe that dropped coffee mugs are also positively correlated with lack of awareness/attentiveness. It seems weird to contemplate that they would be uncorrelated or negatively correlated. (I would expect that phone usage also positively correlates as a major category/source of distraction.)
Same is true of rear-end collisions/accidents/unscheduled bumper modifications.

- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoQuite possibly. Maybe the difference then is that holding a coffee mug isn't an activity in itself, but typically combined with other activities whereas driving shouldn't be combined with other activities. It's possible that a sustained "don't use the internet whilst drinking from a mug" campaign could reduce the droppings(!), but it seems like a different class of problem than driving whilst distracted.
