I'm not sure which I find worse, the relatively high percentage of men checking out other drivers or women watching in-car videos being high enough to show up as its own category...
I'll bet the statistic about men checking out other drivers is directly related to the road rage statistic. I know when I'm behind someone on the road who's driving skills I find less than adequate, I check them out as I pass them to see what they look like and what they're doing.
I text all the time while I drive. I think it's totally safe when I do it... but when I'm in the passenger seat next to my texting friend behind the wheel, I'm shakin' in my boots. Almost literally sometimes.
I think the texting while driving is a victim of the "this doesn't apply to me" thought process.
Also, I don't think eating and drinking should have such significant percentages. I don't know who is carefully inspecting their Burger King cup and straw when slurping a Pepsi on the road.

Joanie, please knock it off before you kill someone, even if it's yourself.
Oh believe me, I'm done. After seeing my friend text behind the wheel, I've officially quit my texting-driving ways. It is soooo much more insanely dangerous than it seems!
