If a driver adjusts their clothing or is distracted while driving but keeps their eyes on the road, how is this rated?

The situation described involves a driver engaging in secondary tasks, such as adjusting clothing or being distracted, while still maintaining visual attention on the road. This behavior reflects a level of control that is less than optimal. Although the driver’s eyes are on the road, the act of diverting attention to another activity indicates a compromise in overall situational awareness and focus.

In terms of rating, "Fair control" acknowledges that there is some effort to maintain attention on driving; however, the physical distraction inherent in adjusting clothing signifies that the driver is not fully focused on the task at hand. Effective driving requires full cognitive engagement, not just visual monitoring of the road. Thus, when analyzing driving performance, multitasking—even when visual attention is partly maintained—can lead to delays in reaction time and increased risk, warranting the "Fair control" rating.
