If you have found yourself beeping your car horn or shouting through the windscreen at other drivers a lot recently – you are not alone.Nearly seven in ten motorists think standards have got worse on the roads over the last five years, a poll has found.Tailgating was voted the most hated habit – with an alarming eight in ten saying they frequently witness the dangerous behaviour which causes an estimated 147 deaths in England each year.Using a mobile phone at the wheel and failing to indicate are also among the nation's most irritating driving habits.A shocking 60 per cent of motorists said they have often seen other road users on their phone while driving - which is illegal, even if the device is in a cradle. Meanwhile, late or no indication - which, amazingly, is not mandatory but rather simply advised in the Highway Code - was spotted on every journey made by more than a third (35 per cent) of drivers. Some 69 per cent believe driving standards have worsened in the last five years, according to the survey of more than 1,100 drivers for consumer group Which?. A mere three per cent, meanwhile, think they have improved. If you have found yourself beeping your car horn or shouting through the windscreen at other drivers a lot recently – you are not alone.
