Not just in a car, but while driving.

On the upside it's probably less distracting than texting while driving, you don't necessarily have to take your eyes off the road...

No, you just have to keep your eyes open.
15% participation rate. Seems low but maybe that is just me.

At first I thought that was an awful high number, but then I read the article and it said “have performed sex or other sexual acts”. That would surely include road head or HJs, or even self gratification for that matter. Now it seems like an awful low figure.

Perhaps they use the Bill Clinton definition of sex.

Ah, road head! Kind of ironic that one of my fondest automotive memories involves a K-car with a bench seat!

Buckets are easier since there's a place for both legs

Long trips can get very boring!
