True or False: Inattention and distraction cannot result in the same outcomes since they are different activities.

Inattention and distraction can lead to similar outcomes, particularly in driving situations where both can result in accidents or near-misses. While they may stem from different sources—such as inattention being a lack of focus on the driving task and distraction being external stimuli that draw attention away from driving—they ultimately both impair a driver's ability to respond effectively to conditions on the road. Therefore, saying that inattention and distraction cannot result in the same outcomes is not accurate. It overlooks the fact that both factors negatively impact situational awareness and may lead to dangerous consequences while operating a vehicle. Understanding this distinction is crucial for recognizing how both inattention and distraction must be managed to ensure road safety.
