Incentves matter: hidden information file

This example is from Donald E. Campbell's book Incentives: Motivation and the Economics of Information, 2nd Edition:
I was driving home one day, correcting the manuscript for this section, trying to think of a good example of private information in this context. Then I realized that my practice of correcting manuscripts while driving is the perfect illustration. My insurance company would love to know about this dangerous habit. [p.304]
