Q: A new study says that If your parents are bad at this, you probably are too!?
A: driving
FULL STORY: Here’s one more thing you can blame on your parents. A new study found that if you’re a terrible driver, it’s probably because you learned from watching THEM drive . Here are five more stats about your bad driving . . .
- 65% of young drivers said their parents had the biggest influence on how they drive. 25% said it was a driver’s ed teacher, and 10% said it was a friend or family member other than their parents.
- 75% of people who have issues with road rage said their parents do too.
- 37% of people who’ve seen their parents drive drunk admitted they’ve ALSO done it. That’s about three times higher than people who’ve never seen their parents drink and drive.
- 71% of people who’ve seen their parents come close to falling asleep behind the wheel said they’ve almost done it too.
- And you’re more likely to copy how your DAD drives . . . even though we think our MOM is a better driver . . .
On average, people gave their mom’s driving skills an 8.1 out of 10, compared to 7.8 out of 10 for their dad. And 29% said they’ve gotten scared while their dad was driving, compared to 20% for moms.
