The message seems to be that some drivers do not intend to stop texting while driving.

A new survey suggests that most people with mobile phones text and drive anyway, despite being aware of the danger.

The poll released by AT&T Inc. as part of an anti-texting-and-driving campaign finds that 98 percent of motorists who own cellphones and text regularly say the danger and state laws against texting don't affect their habit.

More than 25 percent say they're fully capable of multitasking while behind the wheel.
