What do teenage drivers want most in 2008? A new car? A video iPod? More cell minutes for texting (while driving)? Apparently none of these made the list (must have been multiple choice). According to a recent survey by Allstate Insurance Company, what teens want most in 2008 is for friends to be safer on the roads. While 90 percent listed their friends' safety as a wish for 2008, only 11 percent said driving more safely was one of their own resolutions.
Other results from the survey include:
That last one should be enough to scare anyone. Numbers like these won't help reduce auto insurance premiums for teenagers anytime soon. But at least two-thirds of teens surveyed said they want their friends to stop using cell phones, PDA's and MP3 players while driving. That's a start.
Happy New Year to everyone and stay safe on the roads!
