some of us have to close our eyes to concentrate on something complex. you can only process so much information at once.

If you hit an icy patch on a winding road, I recommend not closing your eyes.

Yeah, merging into busy traffic is too much visual stimulus, closing my eyes helps

cmon

reducing stimulus in one arena allows for processing in others. turning down the audio can absolutely let you spend more energy on the visual field.

I'm sure they were joking but you're spot on.

Like, closing your eyes helps you focus on listening better (unless you're trying to read lips but anyway)

Right. I'm not really turning down the volume, I'm adjusting my attention focus.

There was something I heard about why talking on the phone is more dangerous than talking with someone in the car. One of the reasons was that while someone is talking to you in the car they know when to stop talking when the situation causes for the drivers attention. While a phone conversation the person on the other end has no clue clue of the situation in the car.
