Drivers in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and New York were asked the following questions:
The three types of drivers: 1. Diligent Driver: An extremely conscientious driver who consistently sticks to the rules of the road. 2. Neutral Navigator: A milder breed of driver who takes a steady, "middle-of-the-road" approach to driving and typically goes with the flow. 3. Courageous Commuter: A bold driver who does what it takes to overcome the obstacles and complexities of daily driving. Some might call this driver aggressive and dangerous. Key national statistics from the survey: • 71.2 percent of Americans change their route, depending on the time of day, to reach their destination the fastest way possible. • 61.3 percent of Americans travel five to 10 miles over the speed limit. • 34.5 percent of Americans sing and dance in the car while driving. • 21.6 percent of Americans slam on their brakes or slow down when being tailgated. • 19.8 percent of Americans lean on their horns when someone cuts them off. • 13.1 percent of Americans stick to the speed limit. • 10.7 percent of Americans curse or gesture crudely when someone cuts them off. • 2 percent of Americans admit to picking their noses while driving. --From the Editors at Netscape | ||||||||||||||||
