Question:

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of making plans when you spot a hazard?

Answer: Giving you more time to hang up your phone call or finish something you might have been eating or drinking

Explanation
If you are on the phone, eating, or drinking, you may actually be a hazard on the roadway, as a distracted driver. Instead, you should be watching for hazards, planning ahead for possible situations before they turn into emergencies, so serious accidents can be avoided. You can't control other drivers, but you can control your own actions.
