SALEM, Ohio - A new study by State Farm, found that 90% of drivers, ages 16 to 19, admitted to understanding the dangerous of texting while driving, however, 44% reported they still do it.

The survey also revealed that teens find themselves distracted from other factors including, using the radio, talking with passengers and listening to a GPS.

The Distracted Driving Survey found that these behaviors are more common in older teenagers, ages 18 and 19 and less common among 16 and 17-year-olds. 

In recognition of National Teen Driver Safety week, The Ohio Department of Transportation is teaming up with several law enforcement agencies to promote safe driving.

Together, ODOT, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Perry Township Police and the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office will present the Distracted Driver Simulator at the Salem Walmart on October 22nd and 23rd between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The simulator is a computer-generated simulation of distractions while driving. 

ODOT has seven simulators throughout the state to remind drivers of the dangers of distracted driving, including texting and using a cellphone.

According to ODOT, law enforcement agencies in Ohio reported 62 deaths, 762 serious injuries, and 17,594 crashes that were attributed to distracted driving during 2013.
