They don’t think it’s safe, but they do it anyway. Those are the results of a survey released today by Triple Michigan on local drivers. Spokesperson Adrienne Woodland tells Michigan News Network the survey showed while 94% of drivers admitted it was dangerous, nearly 42% also said that they had read their cellphones behind the wheel. More than 30% admitted to texting. Woodland had more.
“For driving ten miles over the speed limit on a residential street, 64% looked at it as dangerous, but almost 40% said they had done it in the past 30 days,” Woodland said.
Woodland says the survey was conducted before the pandemic, but is a good reminder that as more and more people head back to work, “we’re all in this together” should also apply to our conduct on the roads.
