A new study released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has been released and the numbers are pretty unforgiving. According to the study 88 percent of drivers age 19-24 admitted engaging in dangerous habits behind the wheel including texting while driving, running red lights or speeding in just the last month.
The next highest offenders were drivers age 25-39 with 79 percent and drivers 40-59 at 75 percent.
Digging deeper into the numbers showed millennials admitted to texting while driving at nearly twice the rate of any other group.
The director of the foundation, David Yang, told USA Today “”Alarmingly, some of the drivers ages 19 to 24 believe that their dangerous driving behavior is acceptable,”
For a full look at the study you can find more details on USA Today’s website.
