FACT or FICTION -- Do Teen BOYS or GIRLS Speed More?

Carscoop reports:

Allstate Insurance Company recently did a nationwide survey of teenage drivers (the worst kind) consisting of 1,063 people and found out some not-so-surprising facts.

Of the teenage females surveyed, 48% said they were "likely to drive 10 miles per hour over the speed limit". 16% admitted to being aggressive drivers. On the other hand, only 36% of males admitted the same (liars).

Speeding is important, no doubt, but that's been happening for ages. Let's look at something more contemporary (and able to be resolved through technology): texting and talking on cell phones. Girls took that one home at over 50%, while 38% of boys said they would...

At 17, I couldn't help but turn the roadways into an endless circuit race every time I got behind the wheel of my hot red '92 miata. Needless to say, I lost my dignity every time.

Boys speed more than girls, but girls are the ones that hit shit from not paying attention or because they're on the phone. I hate teen drivers.

Boys speed more. Ive been on the road since I was 15. I probably got a speeding ticket every other month until I was 20 (I got out of them because of my Dad being a sheriff). In my situation, I guess it doesnt help that everyone in my family has been buying V8 powered Cadillacs for decades and they are always passed down to the kids.
