Another 30% say they would like to but it depends on the status of the pandemic. Of those planning to pack up their car, truck or SUV, more than half plan to travel more than 500 miles from home. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We commissioned this survey to better understand how the pandemic has impacted road travel, and \u00a0what distractions are \u00a0impacting driver safety,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jon Bloom<\/span>, vice president of personal auto, Erie Insurance. &#8220;Based on data collected, there will likely be more people traveling by car who may be distracted by a number of factors, both inside and outside their vehicle. We want this to serve as a reminder for drivers to be safe and aware on the roads at all times.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>What&#8217;s driving this year&#8217;s travel trends?<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The urge to see family and friends is real. When asked where they plan on going during their road trip, the majority (41%) will visit loved ones while many others are beach-bound (21%) or seeking outdoor adventure at a national park (12%). Most (76%) expect to travel with just one other person, typically their spouse or partner. Write-in destinations included many outdoor, socially spaced locations (likely a reaction from the pandemic), including campsites, lakeside resorts, lodges and cabins to partake in fishing, golfing, hiking and overall sightseeing activities.<\/p>\n<p>More than any other age group, the 65+ crowd expects to travel long distances this year \u2014 one-third plan to travel more than 1,000 miles. Reasons why? As the first age group to be fully vaccinated, they may feel safer to travel and are eager to finally hug their adult children and grandchildren again.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Driving distractions to consider when road tripping<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Nearly half the respondents (44%) said they are distracted by other passengers in their vehicle when driving. Of those, 40% say children distract them the most, followed by a spouse or significant other. <\/p>\n<p>The greatest distraction for drivers in the three older age groups (45-54, 55-64, and 65+) was their spouses or significant others complaining about their driving skills. In the three younger age groups (18-24, 25-34 and 35-44), their greatest distraction was noisy children.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what distracts them <u>the most<\/u> while driving, here&#8217;s a list of the top five distractions:<\/p>\n<div>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"1\" class=\"prntbls\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Top 5 Driving Distractions<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>\u00a0Percentage of total respondents (one choice per respondent) <\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">1.\u00a0Things I see outside the window\u00a0<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">38.6%<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">2.\u00a0Passengers\u00a0<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">18.2% (tie)\u00a0<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">3.
