Alternatively, read the rest of this comment while you visualize slowly spinning a rubik’s cube on the axis that cuts through opposite corners. If you don’t have any trouble doing so, you know that you can see while visualizing. As for myself, I find that I can’t do both tasks simultaneously.
I kind-of can, though the cube image is not that vivid. (It’s still something I wouldn’t do while driving, though.)
EDIT: BTW, I have several reasons to think that in my case reading mostly involves a part of my brain also used for processing spoken language and different from that used to process non-linguistic visual information, which may be unusual.
