With more than
30 million Americans expected to hit the road
this Memorial Day weekend Traverse City,
Mich.-based the Hagerty Collector Network
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 every American
should know as the summer travel season
officially begins!
"After
visiting numerous car shows, auctions and
automotive events, and talking with our
customers, the Hagerty staff heard many of the
same complaints about drivers'
behaviors," says Hagerty CEO McKeel
Hagerty. "Yet these drivers also admitted
they, too, were guilty of committing some of
these 'sins of the road.' That's why we
decided to launch this survey -- for a fun way
to bring these pet peeves to the public's
attention. We found some funny results, but
many responses were things we're all guilty of
doing at one time or another!"
What are the
"Top 10 Driving Pet Peeves"?
1. Distracted drivers talking on cell phones
(Motor Mouths);
