While Driving: 5% Game; 15% Get Their Sex On

Hands-free Bluetooth headset manufacture Jabra released the results of a survey that revealed some interesting statistics about people's habits while driving. From Jabra, "the most common harrowing activities include eating, changing clothes, operating GPS systems, texting, applying makeup and even performing sexual acts while driving."

Below all those activities -- at 5% -- comes gaming. That is right, more people perform sexual acts while driving than play games.

Again, from the survey:

• 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

• 28% 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



It is probably up for debate whether certain sexual acts or gaming would be more dangerous while driving. If any researchers are looking to study this conundrum, please know that Kombo is willing to volunteer all of its employees to help aid in this discovery.

If someone is playing their PSP while driving down the highway, chances are they are driving with their knees and their focus may be away from the road. Where as with -- I don't know -- let's just say roadhead, the driver can keep both hands on the steering wheel, but could be much more distracted.

Another way to read this is study is that gamers are much more responsible than people who read the newspaper or have sex lives.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to get to drive to a meeting while we eat a churro, play Pokemon, and receive a sexual favor.
