This is because studies have shown that passengers in the car respond to driving threats which moves prevents social pressure from pulling the driver away at key moments. Listening to the stereo also does not have the distracting effect of a cell phone conversation because there is no social pressure and the driver tunes out the music when they need to.
What surprises me is how many people are shocked by the number of idiots out there. If there's one thing you can count on, that's what it would be
