"When it comes to safe driving, Android users outperformed their iPhone-carrying counterparts at every turn and stoplight," said Jerry via its official blog post.
One of the major reasons why Android owners are better drivers is because they are less distracted. Jerry claimed that iPhone users tend to use their devices most of the time, even when they are driving.
This is quite the opposite with Android users. Thanks to this behavior, non-iOS consumers tend to focus on the road when they are driving.
Android Users Dominate All Safe-Driving Categories
Based on the latest study by Jerry, Android smartphone users dominated all the safe-driving categories. Regarding overall safe-driving score, non-iOS owners have 75 scores while iPhone users only achieved 69.
Aside from this, Android consumers were also able to get the upper hand when it comes to braking, accelerating, turning, speed, and especially distraction.
The life insurance comparison firm also stated that despite age, educational attainment, credit rating, marital status, and other strong predictors of self-driving scores, Android owners are still better drivers.
