Distracted drivers talking on cell phones (28.5 percent)
Slow drivers in the fast lane (21.6 percent - hybrid drivers in the HOV lane beware!)
Pushy drivers who tailgate (18.1 percent)
Drivers who weave through traffic to gain one or two car lengths (12.5 percent)
Obnoxious drivers who speed up to keep you from changing lanes (5.5 percent)
Hasty drivers who change lanes without signaling (4.9 percent)
Road Rage (2.7 percent)
Motorcyclists who race down the middle of a lane, between cars (2.1 percent)
Women applying makeup and men shaving (1.7 percent)
Drivers who leave their turn signal on for miles (0.92 percent)CNN Story (http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/05/04/pet_peeves/index.html)

Personally, #1, #3, #4, #5 get to me - all agressive driving except for the distracted cell phoner

I Highlighed #2 because we need to be careful to hypermile while letting others have a chance to get past us. ;)
