According to a new survey conducted by Nationwide Mutual Insurance, one in five drivers admitted to texting while behind the wheel. A second survey on FindLaw.com, a legal website, found nearly half of drivers age 18 to 24 admitted to sending text messages, instant messages or e-mail messages while driving.
