It is efficient. I used to drive a manual, eat, shave, and brush my teeth in traffic. Of course, I did most of this at a dead stop when it would take minutes just to move an inch.

Increased chance of collision must be weighed with the increase in productivity. I feel the same way about this as talking on the phone while driving; it is no different than talking with a passenger.

I've gone off on enough of a tangent, so I will just say nice job and leave it at that.
