According to a JEM Poll County residents oppose distracted driving

Porter County residents favor a ban on cell phone use in vehicles, except in emergencies, by almost a 2 to 1 margin, and the older you are the more likely you are to support the ban, a survey showed.

The survey was done June 2 for The Times by JEM Research Inc., of Valparaiso. Of the 1,149 responses from 6,500 calls around the county, almost 65 percent favored the ban, with the lowest percentage being 51 percent among those 35 to 44 years old. The support increased to 62.5 percent in the 45 to 54 age bracket, 78 percent among 55 to 64 year olds and 90.5 percent for those 65 and older.

A survey done by Valparaiso University students for the city earlier this year showed about 67 percent favored the ban.
