How do distractions affect reaction time?

Assuming you are talking about driving. Specifics are really unknown but a good educated guess would say our brains are hardwired to do two kinds of thinking 1. latent thinking and 2. active thinking. The active focuses on what you are aware of the most, like talking to your friends on the phone. The latent thinking does the driving, thus in the event of an accident, your brain must shift the active part of itself from talking on the phone to driving, and all this in, potentially, a fraction of a second.
