Description
Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. The folks at State Farm are out with some new data on distracted driving. And the news isn’t good. State Farm Director of Customer Experience Research Jon Wey…
“So, we’ve learned a few things Fred, and chiefly that distracted driving is a challenge for all of us. I think a good many of us kind of think about the younger generation and younger drivers as being most likely to be distracted. But we are all distracted. A full 80 percent of us admit to driving in some form of distracted way fairly routinely.”
Wey says reading or sending a text take 4.6 seconds on average….and a 2 second glance away from the road doubles crash risk. The solutions are in all of our hands. For more check out the insights page at StateFarm.com.
