If you are like the majority of American drivers, you probably support a ban on texting while you are behind the wheel of a car. In fact, according to a recent CBS/New York Times poll, about 90 percent of Americans think it is too much of a distraction to text on your cell phone while you are driving. Only 8 percent of those surveyed said texting and driving was fine and should not be made illegal.
The survey included more than 1,000 participants of all age groups and it was conducted over the phone. Even the younger drivers agree with a texting ban, although not as many of them are in support of it. With age groups over the age of 45, 94 percent would support a ban on texting, but that could be because very few of them use that type of service in their everyday life.
Men and women also agree on this issue. More than 90 percent of women support banning texting while driving and 88 percent of the men surveyed agreed.
