official survey on the rudest type of driver!

Research says BMW drivers are rudest on road

New research says BMW drivers are the rudest on the road.

They beat owners of Volvos, Vauxhall Cavaliers, Porsches and Nissans to the dubious title.

The survey of 900 motorists found that bad manners were considered more annoying than dangerous driving.

Nearly half of those questioned in the study commissioned by Mitsubishi Motors found ''not being thanked when appropriate'' the most infuriating aspect of driving.

Only 20% found dangerous driving the biggest irritant, while boy racers enraged just 8%.

However, 50% of men admit their worst flaw is failing to thank other drivers, while just one in six women admit the same failing.

It's estimated that this month's new number plate will add 400,000 cars to the roads.

Mitsubishi spokesman David Miles says: ''We would urge car users to be as courteous as possible on the roads.

''We also think the situation would be eased if the Government gets on with providing a fully integrated transport system using the taxation it squeezes from motorists to fund it.''

The survey also found three in five men admitted to being aggressive on the road while only one in five women believe they are capable of road rage.

But we all knew that anyway!
