Erie Insurance Group of Pennsylvania conducted a survey about the risks of teenage driving. The results were impressive; however, a faulty hole can be seen in their answers. According to theautochannel.com, 91% of the teenagers who participated in the survey swear that they’re driving safely but if we are to delve on how they drive (there’s a difference), you will discover that most of them take on calls, doodle with their phones (text message), play earsplitting music that can sometimes be very distractive etc. while driving. Recent bans have been made in some states regarding the use of mobile phones inside the car. However, stubborn individuals have got creativity: thank goodness for speaker phones.
