Researchers from Virginia Tech University,along with police administrators, recently determined that distracted drivers put others in more danger than aggressive drivers. Drivers who eat, discipline children in the backseat,or talk on the are the most hazardous. When residents in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were asked about the bad habits of drivers that made the highways unsafe, most felt that others caused more problems than they themselves. One woman said that she talked on her cell phone a little, but at least she didn't dial the phone numbers while on the road. She concluded her comments by sating that others "aren't following the rules of the road.....They put us all at risk." It's our nature to point a finger at others. When we don't look at our own actions but instead compare ourselves with others, we often come out looking good.
