  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 behavior about cell phones, texting, and driver choices. The 2010 survey was administered by telephone to 6,002 respondents 18 and older, with 4,877 interviews 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.
