Almost half of all UK drivers still texting behind the wheel

A survey of 2,000 Facebook users by the RAC Foundation has found that 45% of UK drivers use text messaging while driving. Texting while driving was found to be highest in London (53%) and lowest in Aberdeen (31%). The RAC Foundation recommends that drivers either mute or switch off their mobiles when driving to take away the temptation to read or reply to a text message whilst on the move. [RAC Foundation blog]
