Grandparents Drive Better than Mom and Dad

Posted by Terry Van Veen  |  POST A COMMENT

A study on grandparent drivers may surprise you.  Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia say kids may be safer in cars with grandparents at the wheel instead of mom or dad.  Analyzing insurance claims for 2003-to'07 car crashes in 15 states, researchers found one per cent of kids were injured when riding with parents, versus 0.70 per cent of those riding with grandparents.  That translates into a 33 per cent lower risk.  Researchers speculate that grandparents are extra-cautious when tasked with driving their grandchildren.
