BMW drivers are the angry birds of UK

And that’s not a good thing, if you’re wondering what that means. They’ve came a long way up the ladder system too, beating some big names in the UK. The UK is a very crowded place, despite being rather small if you compare to some other developed cities. And a crowded place would eventually mean lots of cars zipping around. Developed cities look great and the people seemed to have good ethnics. But the same can’t be said for drivers. Not everyone is pleasant drivers, and some turned into a monster when they got hold of a steering wheel, and that includes girls. Gocompare.com decided to poll 3,000 motorists to see, by vehicle make, which drivers are the meanest of the bunch.
In the UK there is a group of ‘community’ called “white van drivers,” which consists of mostly self-employed males who use vans for everything from delivery to carpentry work. They’re not very much friendly when on the roads, as they’re always in a hurry and don’t want anyone in their way. You can imagine the dramas. But oddly, they finished second overall in the ladder competition. Now, how terrible can the ‘champions’ be? That ‘honourable’ title is given to BMW owners, who were deemed the most ‘unmannered’ drivers on the road. Tailgating, speeding, flipping the bird, you name it, they’re the best. They seemed to like the international gesture a lot.
Coming after the BMW owners and the white van gang, is Audi at number three. Ford managed a number four ranking, followed by Land Rover owners. It seemed that German car fans do have some attitude problems. And why are Benz drivers not in the top five? Well, they’re mostly aging senior citizens who hog the roads.
Other fascinating data from the survey includes the fact that nearly one in 10 British drivers claim that they’ve had an accident as a result of road rage. And of all the bad driving habits of others, the thing Brits hate most is tailgating, as 58 percent call the practice frightening. 37 percent find the practice of flashing one’s lights as a gesture for the driver in front of them to get out of the way offensive, and 32 percent have been flipped the bird. For more on the survey, including the rest of the makes that managed to make the top 10, head over to the Telegraph.
