A survey has listed out the things that irritate Irish drivers the most on the road and the results are not all that surprising.
The results show that dangerous overtaking is what drivers in Ireland find to be the most ‘inconsiderate action behind the wheel.’
The survey of 1,000 adults was commissioned by Peopl Insurance, and shows that nearly three in 10 respondents find this behaviour the most inconsiderate.

This was closely followed by failure to use indicators, which almost one in four (24 per cent) reported as their most disliked driving behaviour.
Ireland’s top five most disliked driving habits are:
Dangerous overtaking
Not using an indicator
Driving too fast
Driving too slow
Not letting other drivers out
Commenting on the survey findings, Paul Walsh, CEO of Peopl Insurance said: "Dangerous overtaking is the most vexing driving habit in Ireland.
"If you've ever driven on Ireland's regional and local roads, you've likely witnessed how quickly an accident could occur due to impatient drivers attempting to overtake other motorists on narrow roads with limited visibility.
"Interestingly, the survey found that 30 per cent of female respondents expressed dislike for this practice, compared to 23 per cent of their male counterparts.
"Overall, the results suggest that women are more likely to experience anxiety towards driving habits that have the potential to endanger lives, such as driving too fast, while men are more annoyed by discourteous driving behaviours, such as not letting people out."
Mr Walsh also observed that: "Dubliners are more likely than those living in any other county to feel frustrated by drivers who don't allow them to merge (16 per cent of Dubliners cited this as the most annoying driving behaviour) and by those who don't move when the traffic light turns green (6 per cent).
"This finding may reflect the fact that Dublin experiences more traffic congestion and a higher risk of collisions, which leads to higher expectations for appropriate driving behaviours.
"We would remind drivers that safe driving can ultimately lead to savings in motor insurance, as can shopping around and ensuring you choose a fair and affordable insurance provider."
