In LeaseTrader's survey of 3,000 drivers nationwide, men regarded road rage, eating and checking out other drivers as bigger distractions than texting when they're on the road. Texting only came in at seventh, with 7.6 percent.
Other distractions for men included: reading the paper (9.3 percent), messing with the radio (7.1 percent), and -- Buzz was particularly concerned about this one -- shaving (3.2 percent). Ouch.
