Description

Gen Z is driving distracted — but perhaps not in the way Americans would expect, according to new research.

Commissioned by digital insurance company, Lemonade, and conducted by Talker Research for Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April, the survey of 2,000 American drivers, split evenly with 500 per generation, revealed that despite younger generations and cell phones being ubiquitous, Gen Z is using tech in smarter ways while driving.

But that doesn’t mean they’re driving safely on the road: The survey looked at a variety of legal, but unsafe, distracted driving habits, and found Gen Z respondents were more likely than other generations to be committing these “driving sins.”

In the past year alone, 54% of Gen Z respondents admitted to eating while driving, compared to 53% of millennials, 47% of Gen X and 32% of baby boomers.
