Plus think how cool it is for the person your talking to on the other 
end to know your talking with someone doing CW mobile.   I want to 
practice at doing it some more to get better at it.  I think a nice 
Elmac AF-67 with a PMR-6 receiver would be fun to use!   Oh, can't 
forget the Master Mobile antenna!

 Does anyone have any factual information on impaired driving senses

where is the mind? 
 
 On the road, of course.  Many can talk on the phone and drive safely. 
CW is safer because the key is in a comfortable place, not in one's ear.
 Been doing this since high school... never an accident in 6 decades.  
But I would suggest that those who want to try it learn to copy in 
your head (conversationally)
and if necessary to take occasional notes, keep the notepad clipped 
atop the dash within eye-view. and keep your eyes on the road, 
always.  (common sense)
It's sure a great companion on long trips (and most always QRM free).
