Personally, I'd say that the person paying 100% attention to the road is safer. I'm not condoning it but if you can see something and react to it you're going to be safer than someone who's not going to see it and not react to it.

Depends
![]() I mean, obviously as it stands we're pretty much all going to say the first is worse. But, if in the second example the speeds are completely in excess of what is safe for road conditions then you could argue the second is more likely to end in tears. And you don't specify the road type in the second example. Pootling along at 70 on a motorway but not paying much attention is probably much safer than paying 100% attention whilst doing 90-100 through a village at school kicking out time ![]() |

That's a very laced question, a bit like "what's worse, sticking to the speed limit or killing children?" lol...did you get caught or something?
p.s. I would say the first is worse, yes. |

Hmm.... you don't specify the kids involved, is it the kind who throw tantrums in supermarkets or cry incessantly in the seat behind you all throughout an eight hour flight?

My sodding bike mates trundling along in front of me on their bikes whilst I'm in my car, holding me up as I rush home from work to change into leathers and get the bike out to meet them in time for the meet point. Still beat them by two minutes
