What Type of Driver are You?

If 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.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
