Norwegians don't dont keep their eyes on the road much

Norwegians have sex when driving cars, according to a new survey. Others read the newspaper, apply make-up or send SMS messages, according to an article in Nettavisen. Along these same lines, a woman was stopped a few days ago breastfeeding her seven month-old several on the Ohio Turnpike, but getting back to Norway:

-- "Six out of ten Norwegian drivers under the age of 30 apply make-up or send SMS messages when driving, according to a survey conducted by TNS Gallup.

-- Three out of ten Norwegians of all ages admit to be sending and reading text messages when driving.

-- 60 percent of people aged 18-29 admit to sending text messages when sat behind the steering wheel. More than six out of ten admit that they speak on the mobile phone when driving.

-- If assuming that 1 million car rides take place in Norway during one day, it means that 300,000 of these drivers will either send or receive a text message, says Arvid Ask, head of the Hordaland traffic section".
