This is a fascinating article in the NYtime on driving and says very clearly what I have always feared about other drivers.
"The study found that drivers were overconfident or very poor at predicting when it was safe to look away from the road to perform another task. Driving situations can change abruptly, but many drivers seem to be lured into thinking the world outside the moving car can be put on hold while they pay attention to other things."
