Young more likely to doze while driving

Posted: Updated:

A new study finds young people are more likely to fall asleep behind the wheel than any other age group.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety discovered that one in seven drivers ages 16 to 24 dozed off while driving last year.

Among drivers over the age of 24, only one in ten drivers fell asleep at the wheel.
