London, Oct. 5 (Reuters): Over a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead and millions more who don’t indulge in intimate thoughts are worrying about work or thinking about their families, a survey said on Thursday.
Research from a car insurer found one in five drivers admit to concentrating behind the wheel less than 75 percent of the time, with 1.2 million thinking mostly about sex.
For another 3.2 million drivers work was the main focus and for 2 million more, family issues dominated.
“Unsafe habits can be unlearned just as easily as they can be learned, but first, drivers must recognise the risk they face,” said Lisa Dorn, director of Driver Research at Cranfield University of the findings.
