Watch out for that teen!

If the driver next to you is a teenage girl – watch out! 

They are officially the most distracted drivers on the road. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety announced the not-so-surprising results in a recent study. Talking and texting topped the list of distractions – but they didn’t stop there. The teenage girls were also busy adjusting controls, eating, drinking and grooming more than other drivers. 

Some other gender driving differences were revealed in the study. Females were 50% more likely to reach for an object in the car. Males were twice as likely to turn around in their seats.

If you’ve got a teen boy OR girl driver – consider limiting their passenger allowance. Multiple teens in the car resulted in a lot more horseplay, loud conversations and accidents, regardless of gender.
