I keep my smartphone with shazam on when I listen to the radio. While moving I'll hear a song and just press the big round button in the middle. The simplest gesture possible on a phone. I noticed that when I do so, even if I make a conscious effort to:
- keep eyes on the road 100%
- not even tilt my head to look at the phone
- don't insist if I miss
even then I can see my brain lose focus of the area around me and somehow only have a mental image of my limb / arm / hand
It seems very unnatural (unless trainable .. can't say) to do those two things at once without turning into a high risk.
