College students are wrapping up their final exams and getting ready to head home for the holidays. Those who will hit the road together with the millions of other drivers, may have a travel plan in place that comprises mapping out their route and checking in with mom or dad before they leave campus. But what young drivers really need is a plan to protect themselves, just in case they experience a problem with their vehicle.
A recent survey commissioned by Allstate Roadside Services found younger drivers ages 18-29 were the most likely group to experience a disabled vehicle while on the road. In fact, 73 percent of young drivers admitted they became stranded or had to pull off the highway. Among the most common reasons for their car issues were a flat tire (74 percent), a dead battery (70 percent), a break down (54 percent) and a lockout (53 percent). Many of the drivers surveyed practiced more than one of these problems.
“The likelihood of young drivers running into problems while they’re on the road makes it imperative they know what to do and who to contact besides their parent,” said Pam Dufour, president, Allstate Roadside Services. “We know young people are tech savvy, so our suggestion this holiday season is for parents to give a gift that provides assistance should their young driver find themselves stuck on the side of the road.
