He is still distracted. He must have a later model car with the confusing HVAC controls. In my 2001 Ranger XLT I can reach over and find the third knob, turn it all the way to the right for defrost, find the middle knob and turn it to right for more heat, and the left knob and turn up the fan, all without taking my eyes off the road. In my wife's 2005 Mountaineer, forget it! I can hardly adjust that thing sitting at a red light.
