Survey reveals interesting habits of UK drivers

ROADS up and down the UK reveal, among other things, that we all differ in the way in which we approach getting from A to B for every journey.

Some of us are cautious, willing to take our time in the hope that we avoid being caught up in an accident, while others try and get to our destination as quickly as possible, driving aggressively in the process.

How we drive depends on the vehicle we’re in. If driving something small like a super-mini or big and heavy like a truck, then we may be a little steadier than the norm. As for those of us in luxury saloons, hatchbacks or coupes, then we may feel the need to drive as fast as the speed limits for each road would allow us to.

Driven mad

A recent survey of UK Driving Habits Revealed that there are a number of things which drivers find a little irritating, with some common problems coming top of the list. The biggest annoyance which UK drivers had was seeing fellow motorists using mobile phones while behind the wheel. Just over half of all respondents chose this over other irritancies, but what else were they peeved abut?

Erratic or non-existent signalling was second with 29% of the vote. This can be a massive problem, and one that the most patient or laid-back driver can find annoying. Other problems cited in the survey when asked what they hated more from other drivers was applying make-up, seeing drivers fiddling with their sat navs and loud music.
