Very unexpected results from the "Distracted Driving Study" by GMAC Insurance indicates that the least experienced and youngest drivers are the LEAST LIKELY to have distracted driving habits. For the most part the only distracted driving habit a teen driver may have is song selection. Drivers over 60 years old are also with fewer distracted driving habits than young adult drivers.
- 57% of young adult drivers say they eat while they drive versus 39% of teen drivers and 38% of drivers over 60 years old.
- Approximately 30% of young adult drivers adjust their GPS (4% teens and 13% drivers over 60 years old).
- 28% of young adult drivers do not use their smart phones to text, email or make calls. However, 75% of teen drivers and 72% of drivers over 60 years old have stopped using their mobile devices completely while driving.
