Interesting topic. I tend to notice bad driving more when I’m out on a bike. Without a shadow of doubt the worst offenders are driving Audi A3’s followed by VW Passat’s, which you wouldn’t expect. The best, not surprisingly, are always Volvo drivers.

I agree with you there! but audi's are still adamant they must be above the rest of us..

the poll is missing the elephant in the room, drivers towing caravans, surely the rudest, most selfish group of them all  At work

camper vans. are worse than caravans. Mostly.

tractors and their gungho muck spreading, traffic holdup straw hatted drivers

i could reply with tractors but it ain't worth the hassle

Basically every car/lorry/van/truck/motorbike/push bike/kids toy brand will have its fair share off bad drivers, from the company car, sales exec blasting up and down the motorway, the old biddy driver who thinks he rules the road, the stupidly fast motorbike courier/ white-van man/hire-van man, foreign truckers, English truckers, kids on his scooter, mum/dad telling the kids off whilst driving, those on their mobiles, those smoking, those tuning the radios, though putting on lipstick, those receiving head from their girlfriend/wife/ex-eastenders actress, those with blue lights flashing, those with orange lights flashing

doesn't matter who or what they are driving, there is just bad drivers out there  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

A sensible answer, now why didn't I write that, probably cos someone loaded the gun

It's in the person to be a good or bad driver but circumstances can change the mood if you allow it, and some cars are aggressive in themselves lending to the driver's attitude going that way also.

around here anybody driving a 12 year old saloon car with " Private Hire" plates on the back,

I must have missed it when I had a company Vectra but these cars are obviously fitted with Nox and twin turbos, have high tech collision avoidance systems, are guided by induction loops in the road and have telemetry for switching traffic light filters instantly, or at least the driver thinks it has , or was told by his sister (who is also probably his wife) that it certainly has because she knows someone in the family who actually took a driving test , or at least booked one, or maybe not... perhaps it was his uncle whose license he borrows . rant over

hey MartynB I think we must drive on the same roads

Why did you not move over to the inside lane

that lane is for trucks and caravans why should he go into that lane so two knobs in minis can overtake at once? middle lane = for driving in At work

Balls, the M1 was empty and at night, unless you are overtaking then move to the left, plus by looking in the rear view mirror once in a while you will be able to see what's going on behind.
Typical RRS drivers attitude, change a 3 lane motorway into a dual carriageway.
