  7. I think that a certain amount of distractions is ok, as long as you feel in control, comfortable, and are not overwhelmed. Distractions are going to happen to any driver at some point, no matter how skilled of a driver you are. Sometimes, we don’t have a choice other than to have a distraction. GPS is often necessary, as well as talking to passengers. However, there are some distractions that tend to be more fatal, such as texting while behind the wheel. My opinion is that you can always pull over to take care of “wants,” not “needs.”
