According to an insurance company study in driver types:

1. Auto-Bahners: 17 percent Fast and aggressive, these drivers are most likely to get angry when someone cuts them off.

2. Auto-Matics: 23 percent While they consider themselves to be safe and confident drivers, they are the least sure of themselves behind the wheel. Many don't even like to drive. They especially like it when other people notice their cars.

3. Auto-Nomous: 21 percent Describing themselves as rugged and powerful, this group of drivers very much enjoys driving, gets a kick out of watching the scenery and considers their car a comfortable place. Most in this group drive a pickup truck or SUV. Two-thirds of Auto-Nomous drivers are men.

4. Auto-Pragmatics: 15 percent Confident, but also cautious, this group purchases cars that are practical, less expensive and environmentally friendly. Sixty-nine percent of Auto-Pragmatics are women.

5. Auto-Pilots: 15 percent This group is most likely to have children under age 18. While they think they are safe and cautious drivers, they are not comfortable behind the wheel and don't particularly enjoy driving. Seventy-one percent of Auto-Pilots are women.
