This dropped into my inbox from confused.com so I just had to blog about it! Elderly drivers voted most irritating, followed by Taxi drivers! Opps I hope I don’t annoy anyone!
“Elderly motorists wind other road users up the most according to new research by car insurance firm Admiral. Is this an unfair slight against older drivers?
Admiral, the car insurance firm, asked more than 3,000 people to tell them which road users they find most irritating as part of its annual survey of road users.
It seems that in the mind of many motorists’ old equals slow, as elderly drivers topped the list of irritants.
Four out of 10 of those polled said elderly motorists got them hot under the collar.
Taxi drivers were voted the next most irritating group of road users, followed by cyclists and van drivers.”
It seems from the article there are some regional differences, depending on where you live its either old people, taxi drivers or the infamous white van man! It is extremely annoying to be stuck behind someone doing 40mph in a 60 for no apparent reason; it does get extremely frustrating especially for drivers on a clock! I think it can cause accidents as people are tempted into overtaking in less than ideal spots!
But what do you think? Have you had any bad experiences with Taxi drivers or Elderly people? Go on be honest the drivers at Top Cars will not take offence!
