According to gmacinsurance.com, "The 2010 GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test released today found that nearly 1 in 5 licensed drivers - roughly 38 million Americans - would not pass a written drivers test exam if taken today. Kansas drivers ranked first in the nation (82.3 percent average score); New York drivers ranked last (70 percent average score)."
Unfortunately the same survey of drivers revealed that distracted driving is an admitted problem. According to the survey, "drivers conduct a variety of distracting behaviors behind the wheel; approximately 1 in 4 participants admitted to driving while talking on a cell phone, eating and adjusting the radio or selecting songs on an iPod. However, only five percent reported they text while driving. Overall, a significantly higher percentage of females than males reported engaging in the following distracting situations: conversation with passengers, selecting songs on an iPod or CD/adjusting the radio, talking on a cell phone, eating, applying make-up and reading."
