I find cruise control helps so much when putting on mascara. However I have to take my glasses off so it does reduce my distance vision considerably.

I would like to think that I would have noticed that I recently passed an HGV (tractor / trailor) or if I was running in traffic that there was one nearby, certainly if all lanes were running at similar speeds I would hang back until I could pass it, not run parallel to it. Also it was changing lanes or doing something the engine noise may have changed, something you are less likely to hear if you are listening to a phone call not the surroundings. Would I have spotted it? I don't know, but I do think that her chatting on the phone while on a hands free and legal was a contribution to this accident.
