What do you do while driving?


Seat belts, airbags, hands-free driving laws and devices – they’re all designed for the benefit of a responsible driver. However, it seems we are often anything but responsible on the roads. New survey results, sponsored by Jabra, show that despite technology to help keep both hands on the wheel, people are choosing to use their hands elsewhere while driving. The most common harrowing activities include eating, changing clothes, operating GPS systems, texting, applying makeup and even performing sexual acts while driving. To compound issues, only about half of the survey respondents reported they’re using a hands-free device while talking, which is the law in many regions.


Survey findings include:


  • The majority of respondents (72%) admitted to eating food regularly while driving
  • 29% of respondents admitted to kissing others while driving, whereas a smaller, but surprising number (15%) said they’ve performed sex or other sexual acts while driving
  • 8% confirmed they text while driving
  • 25% admitted to changing clothes while driving, whereas much fewer (5%) have shaved while behind the wheel
  • Nearly 25 % admits to styling their hair or changing clothes while the car is in motion
  • 13% reported they apply makeup while driving
  • 10% also reported reading newspapers or magazines while driving
  • 5% confessed to playing video games, while even more (12%) admitted to writing or reading emails while driving
