Teens are Distracted Drivers (As if Anybody Doesn't Know That)

Almost nine in 10 teenage drivers (86 percent) have driven while distracted, even though 84 percent of teen drivers know it’s dangerous, according to the American Automobile Association. A survey conducted in May of nearly 2,000 male and female teen drivers ages 16 to 19 revealed that 73 percent have adjusted their radio/CD/MP3 player, 61 percent have eaten food, and 60 percent have talked on a cell phone while driving.
