Do you text while driving? According to a recent study, if you live in the US, there's a pretty good chance you do. Twenty-six percent of the 4,800 people surveyed admitted that they do in fact text while behind the wheel.
Admittedly, the study might be a touch biased: It was conducted by Vlingo, mobile app manufacturer, but the company claims a sampling error of 1.41 percent. The appropriate question here, I suppose, I whether they did the polling while driving.
Currently only seven states in the U.S. have banned the practice.

Actually, there are 12 states that ban text messaging by all drivers: http://www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/cellphone_laws.html
