Survey Results!

During our day of activities last week, our club had people fill out surveys regarding driving statistics.
About 200 people filled out our survey

What we found out was shocking.
  • 80% of drivers admit to driving over the speed limit
  • 65% of drivers have texted or talked on their cell phones while driving(on a side note, a new law was passed in MN, so texting is ILLEGAL behind the wheel, regardless of age or experience! Talking on the phone is illegal for minors, unless it is a 911 emergency call)
  • 63% have danced to their favorite song while driving

When asked about their friends driving, we found some interesting information as well
  • almost half of all surveyed wish their friends would slow down
  • OVER half of those surveyed wish they would Keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, as well as to be more 'in control' of the car


We found it very interesting that so many of the drivers speed, while they also wish their friends would slow down.

Your perspective of driving changes when you aren't the one behind the wheel, doesn't it?
