Objects that are securely stored in the vehicle and do not require the driver's attention, such as a properly mounted GPS device or a hands-free phone setup, do not have the potential to be a driving distraction.
The driving force for the flow of electrons in batteries is the potential difference, or voltage, created between the positive and negative terminals. This potential difference causes the electrons to move from the negative terminal (anode) to the positive terminal (cathode), creating an electric current.

The driving force that causes electrons to flow through conductors is called voltage. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes the electrons in a circuit, enabling them to move from higher potential to lower potential.
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.

The most dangerous distraction while driving is using a mobile phone, as it takes your attention away from the road and increases the risk of accidents.

A driving distraction is critically determined by its ability to divert a driver's attention away from the primary task of driving, which can impair their focus, reaction time, and decision-making. Distractions can be categorized into visual, manual, and cognitive, with any combination of these contributing to reduced situational awareness. The severity of the distraction often depends on the driver's engagement with the task and the complexity of the driving environment. Ultimately, any activity that compromises a driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle poses a risk and qualifies as a distraction.
It all depends, in some cases, yes.
If the officer who observes it believes that it is a distraction to your driving, he can issue a ticket for it and you can defend your actions in court.
Yes. Eating requires that you take a hand off of the wheel and can also create a visual distraction when you take your eyes off the road to find it.
texting, not paying attention, or from any distraction from not looking at the road.

If you mean the in-car light, you can be fined. Driving with it on is considered as a distraction for yourself or others.
