As drivers, we all have pet peeves, or things that other drivers do that annoy the snot out of us. Some of us only have a couple pet peeves while others may get annoyed at much more. Your Trenton area Audi dealer thought this was a good topic to discuss. According to a recent survey of drivers, here are the most common pet peeves of drivers.
• Driving while distracted is a pet peeve for many drivers. In fact, more than 28 percent said they are annoyed when they see another driver talking on their cell phone or doing something else that distracts them from focusing on the road.
• More than one-fifth of the drivers surveyed said they get annoyed by drivers who drive too slowly in the fast lanes.
• Tailgaters (drivers who follow too close) are a pet peeve of about 18 percent of the drivers surveyed.
• Drivers that weave through traffic to get ahead annoy about 12 percent of the driving population.
• Less than one percent of those drivers surveyed listed the habit of leaving one’s turn signal on after making a turn as a pet peeve.
Many of these pet peeves are things drivers should not be doing when they are behind the wheel in the first place. Tailgating, weaving through traffic and talking on your cell phone when driving are habits that are dangerous and even illegal in some places. Be a courteous driver and help make the roads a safer place to be.
