Teens and Distracted Driving

Five observations made while overlooking pewinternet research on distravted teens driving.
1) Almost every age group on this chart is over 50% for being in a car while the driver was texting except for all teens 12-17 which is close to 50% with 48%. Texters ages 16-17 is the highest with 73%, this doesn't surprise me cause teens now think they'll get pulled over for talking on the phone and not texting.

2) I would have thought texters ages 16-17 that said they texted while driving would be higher than 34% because texting has become so popular and teens are worried about getting a ticket for driving and talking on their cell phone so they text under the dashboard where it can't be seen.

3) I would have thought all the texting while driving would have been higher in every group. I would have felt it was around 50% not in the mid to low thirties.

4) Talking while driving in every age group is nearly the same, around 50%, this makes sense to me because some states its illegal to talk and drive so it has probably decreased over the last few years.

5) I have been in all of these situations and have been guilty of talking and driving and texting and driving, but I have been talking less and texting more while driving because of the new laws, which is why I feel texting percentages would be higher and talking would be lower.
