Distracted Driving Survey

As you know we are working on a PSA about distracted driving. I thought it would be great to predict the results of our survey. Remember we have approximately 1900 students at BHS.

Predict the results of the following question:

Do you drive? Yes or No
If you drive, do text and drive? Yes or No
If you drive, do you talk on the phone while driving?
If you don't drive, have you been a passenger and the driver was texting? Yes or No
If you don't drive, have you been a passenger and the driver was talking on the phone? Yes or No
