AAA Research Shows Young Millennials Worst Behaved Drivers

February 16, 2017 By CollisionWeek Editor

New study shows that 88 percent of young millennials engage in risky behavior behind the wheel.

These dangerous behaviors ― which increase crash risk ― included texting while driving, red-light running and speeding. These findings come as U.S. traffic deaths rose to 35,092 in 2015, an increase of more than 7 percent, the largest single-year increase in five decades.
