WHAT TEENS DO WHILE DRIVING

(March, 2015) A new study reports that twenty-seven percent of teenagers have admitted to changing clothes, contact lenses, and doing homework while driving. The study, by the Journal of Transportation and Safety, finds that texting while driving among teens is at 40 percent, down from 43 percent, but teens are into other kinds distractions while driving, including putting on makeup, talking on the phone, changing radio stations and adjusting the GPS setting.
* Also, 100 percent of teens admitted to answering a Journal of Transportation and Safety Survey while driving.
* Only 27% do other things while driving? Factor in the kids who didn’t answer truthfully and triple that.
* I remember when adults were more concerned about what teens did while parked.
* Of these, the one I find most offensive is changing the radio station.
* In other words, keep it right here forever.
* Changing clothes while driving? What? Are you trying to have the right outfit on for their car crash?
* “Taking selfies” used to be on the list, but those kids are all dead.
* Nice survey. Just imagine all the teenagers out there who are getting grounded right now.
* You know the kids just threw in that homework one to kiss up to us.
