The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted the first of several periodic national surveys of distracted driving to monitor the public’s attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported behaviour about cell phones, texting, and driver choices. The 2010 survey was administered by telephone to 6,002 respondents 18 and older, with 4,877 inter-views completed with respondents who were using landline phones and 1,125 interviews completed with respondents who were using cell phones. The survey over-sampled young adults 18 to 34. Interviewing ran during November and December 2010. (Author/publisher)
