Who’s a better driver…Mom or Dad?

Fourth of July weekend has always been a big road trip weekend…and now more than ever in 2020.

Which begs the question…who’s the better driver…Mom or Dad?

MG went to the source…kids 6-16…and there’s a clear winner:

Dad!

43% of kids say their Dad is the better driver versus 29% choosing Mom as best…the rest said they were equal…and clearly hedging their bets!

Kids also rated Dad as less likely to get lost. (?)

However kids said their Dad is more likely to drive faster and have road rage!

More kids also say they enjoy when their Mom drives because they play better music, do more “car games”, have fewer rules and (yes) a LOT less yelling!
