The txtN yl drivN Quiz

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety strives to take its safety messages to audiences everywhere, regardless of language, location, or culture.  In a recent survey, the Foundation learned that about half of all drivers under 24 say that they "text" while driving.  This creates both mental and physical distractions that make driving dangerous -- for the person behind the wheel and everyone else.

So, this month we offer a text-message driving quiz.  See how your text-messaging friends do.

So, how did your text-messagers do?  If they were able to complete this quiz without a cryptographer’s help, they are already spending a lot of time texting.  Remind them to give their thumbs – and phones – a rest when they’re behind the wheel.
