Wednesday, 24 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

If you want your kids to be good drivers you better start looking at your own behavior. A new study about texting while driving has found that teens are often just mimicking the behavior of their parents. While about two-thirds of teen drivers say they’re guilty of texting while driving, the percentage of parents who admit to doing so isn’t far off. Other bad behavior that is passed on? Making calls at red lights and fiddling with the radio station while driving.
