As a result, this increased their chances of having an accident, a new survey has found.
According to Confused.com, who commissioned the study, 16% of participants said their significant other was their least favourite passenger in the car.
Some 34% of respondents said they are more easily distracted from their driving with their other half in their car. In fact, motorists would rather travel with a hitchhiker in the car than their other half. When the results are broken down, 16% cited their husband or wife as their least favourite passenger, compared to 12% who cited hitchhikers.
A fifth of drivers admitted they had been in accident when someone else was in the car, and one if 14 of those blamed the behaviour of their passengers on the crash.
When it came to the most annoying habits of passengers, back-seat driving came top of the list. Other things that annoyed drivers included making comments about the speed, too much talking and fiddling with the radio.
The survey of 2,000 motorists also looked at how travelling with a difficult passenger can impact on a driver's behaviour, with 35% admitting that their attitudes are affected depending on who is in the car.
More than one in five drivers (21%) said they are more easily distracted with someone else in the car, while one in seven (15%) claim they get stressed by their passengers.
A further 25% said they feel nervous when they have someone travelling in the car with them.
Elsewhere, 79% admitted to driving more carefully with children in their vehicle.
