Teen driving and their own practices were the primary issues of the research spearheaded by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The research carried out was called Distracted Driving Among Newly Licensed Teen Driver. In this specific research, a video recorder was positioned within the vehicle to be able to keep an eye on and figure out the cause of possible accidents where teenager drivers are involved. Automobile accidents are found to be the major cause of teenager demise these days.
The actions of teenager drivers while driving on the busy streets is what precisely AAA figured out through this research. With the unneeded activities they do while driving a car, they usually lose focus on the street. These unneeded activities include texting and calling, putting makeup on their faces, and a number of other things. There are even several who were seen to be reaching for things from any part of the automobile.
The investigation found the fact that utilizing gadgets distracts a teenage driver than anything else. It was surprising to know that electronic devices are utilized by 70% of the drivers while travelling. This was even higher among older teenage drivers.
It has been a confirmed fact the teenage ladies employ electronic gadgets greater than men. Additionally, female teens behave a lot more badly while driving as compared to men. Reaching for things, eating, and drinking are some of the most common elements. Therefore, a major contributing factor is gender.
It was identified however, that teens behave appropriately while driving when accompanied by older people like their mom and dad. The distracting activities they do when they are alone decreases because of the presence of an adult. However, less distracting routines are done in the presence of an adult yet more of it when with individuals of similar age group.
Considering that accidents caused by distracted driving increase made this a not shocking research. Our office provides high regard to educators, lawmakers and individuals who are involved in lessening distracted driving behaviors on the roads of South Florida. Nevertheless, more must be done to protect drivers, passengers as well as pedestrians.
