Only four percent thought they were much more considerate. Sixty-four percent said it's okay to use a phone while driving, and 58 percent said it's okay to take calls on public transportation. The biggest blunders are accepting a call during a meeting (94 percent of executives were against it) or dining in a restaurant (91 percent were against it).
