Survey - text and drive

A recent survey asked readers to respond to the following question, “Do you text and drive?”

The results were:

All the time? 15 (21%)
Occasionally? 28 (38%)
Never? 30 (41%)

Of the 73 who voted (thanks, Readers!), 41% said they never do.

This leaves 59% who text all the time or at least occasionally.

So, as you drive, keep a careful eye on all that is happening around you, especially approaching you head-on or following you as you approach a traffic light or stop sign.
