What makes drivers angry

From here http://seven.com.au/todaytonight/story/?id=29973
But will copy and paste because I am not sure how long that link will work.

The Royal Automotive Club in Queensland (RACQ) has just completed a survey of more than 4000 drivers and compiled the Top Ten list of driving habits that make us angry.

Here are the results:

(1) Tailgating

(2) Aggressive behaviour by bus and truck drivers

(3) People talking on mobile phones

(4) Drivers who speed up when you overtake

(5) Drivers indicating late or not at all

(6) Bullying

(7) Cyclists with no lights

(8) Slow drivers that don’t let you overtake

(9) Drivers eating or drinking

(10) Cyclists disobeying road rules


Interesting there that two cycling related ones get in there. Just the other night when driving I past I overtook a cyclist who was wearing a black coat and had no lights on. Otherwise generally in my experience the angry people are the ones breaking the road rules. But with the amount of cyclists around (defintely less than 2 in 10) I was surprised.

But it wasn't an excellent study I suppose either.
