Matt Noyes at Noyes Legal News discusses the multi-tasking habits of teenagers.

Survey Says . . .Teenage Drivers Admit to Risky Driving Habits

Sixty-one percent of teens admit to risky driving habits according to a survey by AAA and Seventeen Magazine. Of that 61%, 46% say that they text messages when driving and 51% talk on cell phones while driving.

Other teens in the vehicle can be a major distraction for teen drivers, and driver distraction is a factor in 25%-50% of all car accidents.

The survey also found that 40% of teens exceed the speed limit by 10 mph or more while driving, and 11% of teens admit to drinking or using other drugs before getting behind the wheel.

The survey, featured in Seventeen Magazine's upcoming August issue highlights the risks teenager drivers experience, but also highlights the risk to others that young, inexperienced drivers impose while engaging in risky habits.

A loose end - how does Matt get advance copies of Seventeen Magazine issues?
