Studies have found that Internet service providers around the globe are effectively taking would-be young drivers off the road, and business away from departments of transportation.
What on earth are we talking about?
In plain speak, researchers in a number of developed countries – including recently those from the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute – have found young adults prefer to surf the Web, rather than cruise in automobiles.
Among U.S. drivers in their 20s, the Michigan researchers found 94 percent had a driver’s license in 1983, but 25 years later in 2008, that figure had decreased to 84 percent in their 20s with licenses.
