Even though 69% of Americans find texting to be the "most an**ying or offensive" activity while driving, 55% admit to using their phone in the car. A new report from Expedia (http://mashable.com/category/expedia/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) looks at Americans' habits and opinions about driver behavior ahead of the summer travel season.
More than 30 million Americans are likely to travel by car this Memorial Day (http://mashable.com/category/memorial-day/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss). The 2014 Road Rage Report (http://viewfinder.expedia.com/features/2014-expedia-road-rage-report), conducted by **rthstar, surveyed 1,001 American adults with valid U.S. driver's licenses on their own driving habits and their opinions about other drivers.
