The increasing congestion of urban traffic has led to the popularity of TNVS drivers. However, the growing patronage of TNVS applications brings several problems that concern the drivers of these vehicles. One major problem is the combined usage of necessary secondary factors (e.g. conversation and using navigational devices), which has been found to negatively affect driver situational awareness (SA) and reaction time (RT). A naturalistic driving study was used and tested with four conditions: no distractions, conversation only, navigational devices only, and combined usage of both. Three different scenarios were counted to obtain driver RT: when suddenly stopping, when at stop lights, and when a car is swerving. Results addressed contrasting studies in literature, since it was found that conversation, individually, affects SA. The combined effect also negatively affected the driver the most. Scenarios that require constant monitoring such as sudden stops and swerving were most affected by conversation. The driving scenario at stop lights was most affected by usage of a navigational device since it is where drivers feel safest to check these.
