- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 100,000 drivers nationwide are texting at any given time during daylight hours.
- Out of nearly 9,000 teenagers surveyed, 49 percent of boys admitted to having texted while driving; 45 percent of girls did as well.
- This is not a risk that necessarily improves with age. Fifty-eight percent of 18-year-olds said they had texted while driving. The rate did go down for adults, but a smaller California survey found that one-third of adults ages 30 to 64 acknowledged texting while driving.
