Getty ImagesIf someone asked you this question. What type of driver are you? How would you answer, I know I would say that I am an old driver. I like to go slow and get to where in need to be ahead of time. Here are the 6 different types of driver and what they say about you.
Triple-A released a new study, which found that there are SIX types of drivers: Safe drivers, speeding drivers, distracted drivers, distracted and aggressive drivers, "most dangerous drivers," and impaired drivers.
Some people are worried about self-driving cars because they don't think they're safe. But most HUMAN drivers aren't safe. Triple-A released a new study, which found that there are SIX types of drivers, and over half are UNSAFE. Here they are . . . which one are YOU?
HERE ARE THE 6 TYPES:
1. Safe drivers, 41%. The survey asked people about various risky and dangerous driving behaviors, laws, and rules of the road. And they also had drivers self-report their behaviors behind the wheel. This group had a good understanding of what's safe and what's not, and rarely engaged in bad behavior. Women were more likely to be in this group than men.
2. Speeding drivers, 23%. These are people who admit to regularly speeding . . . about 15 miles-per-hour over the speed limit on highways . . . and about 10 over on residential streets. But otherwise consider themselves good drivers.
3. Distracted drivers, 15%. These are people who admit to using their cell phones when driving, particularly texting and emailing.
4. Distracted and aggressive drivers, 17%.
These are drivers who admit to messing around on their phones AND driving recklessly . . . like speeding, running red lights, tailgating, and darting in-and-out of lanes quickly.
5. The "most dangerous drivers," 2%. These drivers admit to MANY risky behaviors, and didn't seem to comprehend the dangers associated with them.
6. Impaired drivers, 1%. These are people who admit to driving after drinking alcohol or using marijuana. Triple-A says rural drivers were far more likely to cop to driving impaired.
