According to a new survey by Progressive Auto Insurance, 69 percent of people say they eat behind the wheel, 12 percent apply makeup or shave, and 7 percent read a book or newspaper. The survey also found that 44 percent of respondents say they use a cell phone while driving. The survey of the driving habits of 29,981 people nationwide was conducted by Progressive between May 17, 2000 and July 1, 2000. The survey also found that besides being distracted while driving, drivers are also angry while they’re behind the wheel. According to the survey, 46 percent of respondents report expressing their anger at the other drivers while behind the wheel, and of those people who express their anger while behind the wheel (by shouting or swearing, using hand gestures, cutting off other drivers, or speeding), more than 50 percent also talk on their cell phones while driving. The survey found that 74 percent of SUV and minivan drivers report eating behind the wheel, more than any other type of vehicle, and SUV drivers are the most likely to use a cell phone while behind the wheel. The survey also found some interesting differences between men and women. According to the survey, when it comes to letting off steam behind the wheel, women are more likely than men to shout or swear at other drivers to express anger, while men are nearly twice as likely as women to use hand gestures.
