There's less margin for error in driving, in some respects.Oh bull ****. Last year I was flying a single pilot aircraft. I could fly that aircraft in clouds down to 200 feet off the ground with out seeing the ground while controlling the roll and pitch with my left hand, the yaw with both my feet and the airspeed, power, flaps, gear, and props with the right hand, all while talking and listening on the radio and completing checklists. Don't tell me I can't drive a car with one hand and control the speed with one foot while talking. That's just stupid.
If I took my hands off the wheel for 10 secs, I might hit something, depending on speed, etc.
Whereas when flying, taking your hands off the controls might, at worst, mean you started climbing, diving, or perhaps went into a spin...
Wait...
