Study Finds that More than Half of Drivers Are Idiots (And Text)

Seriously people, I stopped driving almost a year ago, but in my 18 years behind the wheel I never ever typed a message while driving. Unlike 52% of drivers worldwide, according to a recent survey.

So is half the world absolutely insane or is this survey—done with just a 2,881 driver sample—inaccurate? It seems to me like an awfully high number, but knowing that everybody has a phone now, I’m not surprised. If true, this is something a bill won’t fix. It seems more like an education matter. And with education I mean “if you text while driving you may end up dead, you idiot.” [PR Newswire]
