Punchlines: Do you text and drive?

If you text while driving, you're not alone. In fact, you are probably among the least distracted when it comes to committing risky behavior behind the wheel. According to a recent AT&T survey, distracted drivers are now using Facebook (27% of people surveyed admitted to doing that), video chatting (10%), surfing the web (28%) and taking selfies (17%), all while moving down the highway.

Conan O'Brien said those stats explain a new trend -- the last selfie post on Facebook. And Jimmy Kimmel has come up with a clever device that would make it impossible for someone to use their phone while driving. Let's see if the car manufacturers bite.

Do you text and drive? Going into this holiday weekend (a prime one for driving to the beach), do these stats make you think twice? Take a look at our favorite comedic commentary on the practice, then vote for your favorite joke in the quick poll to the right. Watching from your smartphone (hopefully not while driving) or tablet?
