Stop there. What would lead you to this speculation?
Of course driving requires constant attention and care, the full time you are behind the wheel of an automobile. You're piloting a 2 ton machine made of whirling metal and filled with flammable liquid traveling at high speeds, usually within less than a meter of someone else doing the same.
There is never a good reason to divert attention from the task of driving while you are driving. Full stop.
