A survey was sent out to gather information regarding what different individuals, such as someone's mother or father, thought about the importance of the respondents obeying the traffic regulations, such as drunk driving, the usage of seatbelt, speeding and the usage of a mobile phone while driving. The respondents were also asked how their own opinion was regarding following the previously mentioned laws. What the study found was that it was the third most important law to follow, these four between and that there was a correlation between what people around you thought and what you thought were important laws to obey.
