Texting while driving, which President Barack Obama banned for federal employees two weeks ago, is clearly hazardous. But other driving distractions -- such as putting on makeup -- are even more dangerous. At least that's the opinion of most of the 3,000 respondents to a survey by LeaseTrader.com, which manages auto lease transfers. The survey asked which distraction was the most dangerous. Here are the top eight responses.
FEMALE RESPONDENTS 1. Kids in car 26% 2. Putting on makeup 17% 3. Tuning radio 10% 4. Navigation system 10% 5. Weather-related distractions 8% 6. Passengers in vehicle 7% 7. Eating, drinking 7% 8. Texting while driving 4% MALE RESPONDENTS 1. Road rage 18% 2. Eating, drinking 15% 3. Checking out other drivers 11% 4. Kids in car 10% 5. Passenger conversations 10% 6. Reading paper 9% 7.
