Share |

Monday, June 18, 2012

When Consumer Reports' National Research Center polled 895 drivers to rank 20 common driver complaints on a score of one to 10 -- where one means "does not annoy you at all" and 10 means "annoys you tremendously" -- texting on a cell phone while driving came in at number one. It was followed closely by able-bodied drivers who park in handicapped spaces and tailgaters following too closely. Here are the top 20 driving pet peeves and the score: 1 Texting on a cell phone while driving: 8.9 out of 10 2 Able-bodied drivers parking in handicapped spaces: 8.7 3 Tailgaters: 8.4 4 Drivers who cut you off: 8.3 5 Speeding and swerving in and out of traffic: 8.2 6 Taking up two parking spaces: 7.7 7 Talking on a cell phone while driving: 7.6 8 Not letting you merge into a lane: 7.6 9 Not dimming high beams when approaching: 7.6 10 Not using turn signals: 7.5 11 Slow drivers dawdling in the passing lane: 7.3 12 Jaywalkers stepping in front of your car: 7.3 13 Excessive horn honking: 7.1 14 Slowing down to "rubberneck" at accidents: 7.0 15 Not turning on headlights when it's raining or at dusk: 6.8 16 Drivers who are indecisive about when to turn: 6.6 17 Slow drivers on a two-lane road who won't pull over: 6.5 18 Not going when the light turns green: 6.1 19 Bicyclists who don't let you by: 5.8 20 Cranking up the radio volume: 5.7
