Are you a Whacky Weaver? Or perhaps a Driving Diva? With more than 30 million Americans expected to hit the road this summer, the Hagerty Collector Network, which provides insurance for collectible cars and boats, surveyed thousands of members nationwide to uncover America's top 10 driving pet peeves.
The results from Hagerty's survey revealed some surprising yet common sins of the road. Do you recognize any of these driving behaviors?
- Motor Mouths - Distracted drivers talking on cell phones.
- Turtle Racers – Slow drivers in the fast lane.
- Piggybackers – Pushy drivers who tailgate.
- Wacky Weavers - Drivers who weave through traffic to gain one or two car lengths.
- Gap Snatchers – Obnoxious drivers who speed up to keep you from changing lanes.
- Space Invaders - Hasty drivers who change lanes without signaling.
- Road Ragers – No description necessary.
- Speed Racers – Motorcyclists who race down the middle of a lane, between cars.
- Driving Divas - Women who apply makeup and men who shave while driving.
- Morse Coders - Drivers who leave their turn signals on for miles.
"After talking with our customers, [we] heard many of the same complaints about drivers' behaviors," said CEO McKeel Hagerty. "Yet these drivers also admitted that they, too, were guilty of committing some of these sins of the road. We found some funny results, but many responses were things we've all been guilty of doing at one time or another!"
