Eating, drinking, make up! Driving requires a tremendous amount of attention to detail. Trying to do any of these takes away from your focus and endangers you and others.

You are correct. Driving is one of the most complex activities that the average U.S. citizen does. I'll assert than European's take driving as a more serious and fun endeavor than we do in the U.S. We see it just for its utilitarian aspect, rather than for its inherent enjoyment.
