Two is correct.

My #1 (head and shoulders above all the other irritants cited in this article):

There are entirely too many police manning speed traps and giving out tickets.

More nonsense to get us ready for a cell phone ban. Don't buy into it. The government only wants it for revenue enhancement and a chance to take a warrantless peek to make sure you aren't carrying a bit of pot in the trunk or anything else our overlords consider naughty.

Running a little late for work, they often can be seen grooming and shaving while driving. To be certain, this is never an issue for those of us of the female persuasion.

Puh-leeeze!!! I've never seen a a man shaving while driving.

How many women have I seen putting on mascara or lipstick while driving?

I'm sure the answer is in the tens of thousands.

And that was just this morning's commute!

I usually run the speed limit unless traffic is flowing much faster but I never use the passing lane as a cruise lane anyway.

#2 is my #1.

And not to start a fight here, but, 8 out of 10 times it is a woman - ususally chatting on a cell phone.

Flame suit on!

6. Do you find that reaching up and turning on that pesky turn signal is more effort than you care to expend while driving? Not bothering to use your turn signal is the sixth-most irksome thing you can do when behind the wheel.

I usually holler out the window, "Were turn signals an option that year?"

"8. Due to the fact that I get into deep hot water with motorcycle riders every time I write something negative about motorcycles driving in between lanes, I feel it necessary to post the following disclaimer: I did not conduct the survey. Hagerty Insurance did. That said, the survey concluded that motorcycles that split lanes are No. 8 on the list of what infuriates drivers the most."

Which is kinda dumb. Why partake of a traffic jam if you don't have to. If it bothers you so much, buy a bike and save hours on your commute.

I can honestly say I don't give a crap about #1, and I don't even notice it, UNLESS, #2-#10 draws my attention to that driver. THEN it might cause me to mentally chide them, but if I see someone driving safely while talking on a phone, I have no problem with that.

No 1 is right on the nail. Not only infuriating but dangerous. And those slow, wide turns......

I'm a biker, and IMO this is justification for opening your door.

And cell phones? There was a story in the local paper about a lady who was chatting on a cell phone, walked around a gate and into the path of a train. Some folks should not chat and drive.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw...I wonder if you'd drive any better with that cell phone shoved up your ###!

I hate it when the guy in front is driving too close to me.

Imbeciles who refuse to obey traffic laws -- all of them -- annoy me to no end.

If you cannot follow the rules of the road, walk or take the bus.

My biggest beef are those people who come to a stop at a green light and let others in cross traffic in front of them (and the 1,000 cars behind them).

Bull. If I see another woman putting makeup on while sailing by me on the freeway, I'm going to ram her...

9. Ah, men. Running a little late for work, they often can be seen grooming and shaving while driving. To be certain, this is never an issue for those of us of the female persuasion. Heads up, gentlemen. Grooming while driving was ranked as the ninth-most annoying driver behavior.

Women may not shave while driving but they sure do put on lipstick and other cosmetics. Sometimes using both hands! Shaving is safer, IMHO.

1. I have seen people using a cell phone in one hand, and "talking" with the other. The car, and their brains, are on autopilot.

2. Have you never heard Rush talk about the woman that received a ticket for farding in her car? Not releasing gas. Farding, we are told, is applying makeup while driving.

If you're steaming about number 3, chances are you're probably guilty of number 2.

Not always, but often.
