While they're otherwise protective of their children, a new survey finds that new mothers talk on the phone and text or check e-mail at an alarming rate while driving with their babies in the car. The data shows 78 percent(!) of mothers with children under age 2 acknowledge talking on the phone while driving with their babies and 26 percent say they text or check their e-mail. And that distracted driving doesn't even take into account how many times they say they have to turn around to deal with their baby in the back seat while driving.
So how do they come out when the number of crashes new moms have been in are compared to the general population of drivers? Not very good. AZCentral takes a look.

Does not surprise me, I still see a lot of people talking on their cell phones while driving, and I did see one I think was texting the other day.
I see tons of them too. And remember how bluetooths were the 'cool' thing a while back? Well doesn't seem like anyone owns them anymore.
