61 per cent of Aussie drivers — equivalent to 11 million people — admit to driving distracted, according to a new report.
The most common dangerous driving habits revealed in the latest Finder Driving Report were:
– Eating a meal behind the wheel (44%)
– Driving in thongs (25%)
– Taking a phone call (10%)
– Sending text messages (11%)
According to Finder’s Taylor Blackburn:
“Taking your eyes off the road for even a second can mean the difference between life and death, so it’s staggering to think how many Aussies are being so reckless.
“Whether you’re looking away to text, take a bite of food or put on makeup, every moment you aren’t focused on the road can be catastrophic.”
