    Drivers think of sex rather than signals

    LONDON (Reuters) - Over a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead and millions more who don't indulge in intimate thoughts are worrying about work or thinking about their families, a survey said on Thursday.

    Research from car insurer More Than found one in five drivers admit to concentrating behind the wheel less than 75 percent of the time, with 1.2 million thinking mostly about sex.

    And sex wasn't the only non-traffic thoughts motorists have. For 3.2 million drivers work was the main focus and for 2 million more it was family issues that dominated.

    "Unsafe habits can be unlearned just as easily as they can be learned, but first, drivers must recognize the risk they face by not concentrating on their driving," said Lisa Dorn, director of Driver Research at Cranfield University of the findings. The study also revealed drivers' pet hates.

    Topping the list were tailgaters (28 percent), lane hoggers (20 percent) and drivers who cut in (11 percent). Other road users who drove too fast and those who drove too slowly were also rated on 11 percent.

    The research carried out by Sky Living for More Than questioned 4,497 adults in June, 2006.

    I thought it was well known that men think about sex every 15 seconds.

    I disagree with this. Unlearning things is very difficult! You have
    to work at it, and there has to be some kind of reinforcement of the
    change.

    Positive reinforcement works best, but it's probably easier to mount
    machineguns in unmarked cars....

    I've often wondered how they arrived at that figure. For myself, if I
    had to carry a pencil and piece of paper to make a mark on every time I
    thought about sex, it would be bound to increase the frequency.

    "What's this bit of paper - oh yeah, the sex survey - mmmm, sex...- now
    should that be one point or two?"
