Recent research indicates that, contrary to expectations, Gen Z drivers engage in more unsafe driving habits than older generations. A survey of 2,000 drivers found that 54% of Gen Z admitted to eating while driving, a figure higher than other generations. Additionally, they are more likely to drive while tired (32% vs. 28% for millennials), have heated arguments in the car (15%), or have pets on their laps (13%). Interestingly, only 30% of Gen Z consider their generation to be safer drivers, whereas older generations show a more positive self-assessment.
