9 in 10 American Drivers Confessed To Dangerous Driving Behaviors In The Past Year


NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A new ValuePenguin.com survey found almost all drivers, 90%, admitted to dangerous driving behaviors within the past year. And while some of these behaviors ? such as eating, talking on the phone or changing the music ? may seem harmless ? 94% of car crashes are caused by human error and dangerous driving behaviors.

More worryingly, many drivers who engage in dangerous driving activities do so without legal ramifications ? more than one-third of licensed drivers said they have never been pulled over for a traffic violation, despite engaging in dangerous driving behaviors.

Key Findings

To determine the most common driving fails, ValuePenguin.com commissioned Qualtrics to conduct an online survey of 1,033 Americans with a valid driver's license, with the sample base proportioned to represent the general population of drivers across the country. The survey was conducted in May 2019.
