| Survey reveals risky mobile use amoung our young drivers |
 |
Two in three young Australians admit to talking illegally on their mobile phone without a hands-free kit while driving, leading to major driver distraction and lack of concentration on our roads, a recent survey has revealed.
The research, commissioned by Winplus Australia, has revealed some disturbing driving trends across Australia among the 18-34 age bracket.
|
The results showed that 79 per cent of respondents, or 3.9 million young Australians, admitted to using their mobile phone illegally while driving, with four in five acknowledging that they pay less attention to the road when doing so.
Alarmingly, one in ten drivers surveyed admitted to being involved in an accident which they believe could have been avoided if they had not been using their mobile phone in a dangerous manner. |
