   Yes, the other person the driver is talking to can stop talking   
   when they see something happening outside the car that the   
   driver should be paying attention to and can even point that   
   out to the driver if the driver hasn’t noticed. The other person   
   talking to the driver using a cellphone can't do any of that.
