Oh sure, Americans are
adamantly against texting while driving (in theory), but that's not stopping those mischievous Gen Y-ers from getting their
SMS on while behind the wheel. According to a new survey of 1,200 people conducted by Nationwide Mutual Insurance (we know, we know), a third of the Gen Y-ers admitted to "always multitasking while driving," and while the "always" bit does indeed frighten us a tad, the real juice was in the next statistic: 37-percent said they sent text messages while driving. Before you start belaboring the imprudent youth, think long and hard about your own in-car cellphone usage -- remember that time you just had to reply "y w pep plz" in order to salvage your friend's
pizza order? Tsk tsk. [Source:

No, you're just that tool swerving all over the road that everyone gives a wide berth to so you think you're a good driver.
