What driving habits drive you crazy?

Do you consider yourself a good driver? We’re guessing that you do, and that you have a list of pet peeves of bad driving habits you have seen in other road users. Does your list match up with ours?

A recent survey from fuelcards.co.uk has revealed what bad driving habits annoy other road users the most. More 52% of people have admitted to having potentially dangerous driving habits, yet despite this 27% claim to be the best driver they know. A further 37% say that they are sure that they are a better driver than their partner.

We believe that modified and performance drivers are safer drivers overall due to the care and attention they put into their cars – so it must be even more frustrating when you see other drivers behaving badly. We want to know what bad driving habits annoy you the most! Scroll down to vote in our poll, or if something else annoys you, let us know on Facebook.
