Only 35 Per Cent of Us Would Stop Our Friends From Making Calls While Driving

Pull over somewhere safe if you need to use your phone while driving.

A new survey has found that millennials between 16 and 34 are more likely to call out dangerous driving habits compared to their older counterparts.

Ford Australia released the data after surveying 1,000 Australians from around the country between the ages of 16 and 60. They found that only 35 per cent of passengers between 16 and 34 were likely to stop someone from making a call while they were driving. This could be due to the fact that there is the option to call people while using hands-free technology. (Unfortunately, the world hasn't quite developed hands-free for Facebook.)

Their report also showed 60 per cent of young passengers had called out dangerous behaviour previously, while only 53 per cent of those over 34 admitted to doing the same.

The sad news is that, despite millennials being (slightly) more safety-conscious, they are still 50 per cent more likely to be involved in a car accident than older generations.

In fact, the results showed that young drivers feel more comfortable eating while driving and adjusting audio controls than older drivers, which can cause serious distractions.

So, please remember next time, no matter how late you are or how many times your phone buzzes with new DMs, never check it while driving. One more time for those in the back: NEVER CHECK IT WHILE DRIVING.

Okay, I think we're good now.
