BMW owners are the most annoying drivers in the UK, according to a new study.

Experts at Zuto have conducted research to find out which car makes are the most annoying, what annoys UK drivers the most, and which cities suffer with the worst road rage.

The study revealed one in five people believe that BMW owners are the most annoying drivers on the roads (19 per cent), along with Range Rover owners in second place (16 per cent) and Mini owners in third (11 per cent).

Interestingly, different car brands have different connotations for drivers in the UK, depending on where you are in the country.

For example, in Birmingham drivers find those with BMW’s the most annoying (21 per cent). However, in Leeds, Range Rovers are seen to be the most annoying (25 per cent).

It also showed over half of drivers have admitted to regularly getting angry behind the wheel (51 per cent), with a further one in four drivers (25 per cent) even swearing at others when making a journey.

The biggest pet peeve while driving is “cars getting too close behind you” according to 52 per cent of people.

Drivers also get angry when others use late or no indicators (50 per cent) and when boy racers, who are often fans of driving fast and aggressively, appear (48 per cent).

Not only do other drivers frustrate us, but certain aspects of the roads themselves also contribute to our rage.

Potholes frustrate over half of UK drivers (60 per cent). This is followed by speed bumps, which annoy almost a third of us (30 per cent).

Our anger towards others on the road changes from city to city, with some locations unable to hide their emotions.

People driving in Leeds may be exposed to more abuse if they make a mistake as 43 per cent of drivers in the Yorkshire city resort to swearing at others when another driver annoys them.

Taking this one step further, 10 per cent of drivers in London would physically get out of their car when annoyed with another driver, the highest in the country.

The capital is also named the worst city for road rage with 25 per cent of people admitting to having it every time they drive.
