The UK's Worst Drivers Own This Make Of Car
UK's Worst DriversWhen you opened this, we guarantee you already had two vehicle manufacturers in mind – Audi and BMW. Well, you weren’t wrong on one of them!
A total of 2000 UK drivers were surveyed by Van Monster to try and find a link between driving habits and vehicle ownership. They asked drivers to divulge their greatest driving sins including parking across two bays, damaging other vehicles and road rage, amongst other misdemeanours.
Audi owners came out ‘tops’ on 17 of the 33 measures, earning them the unenviable title of the most selfish, dishonest and incompetent drivers on UK roads. Yikes!

Range Rover owners were found to be most prone to opening doors onto other vehicles, damaging wing mirrors and damaging a vehicle owned by a partner, family member or friend whilst behind the wheel.

If you ding another car do you ‘fess up? The survey found 40% of Audi and Seat owners wouldn’t, instead opting to drive off. The third most dishonest of drivers own BMWs.

In addition to their dishonest tag Seat drivers suffered worst with road rage, which likely comes as a surprise to you as it did us. The thought of somebody raging in a Mii just doesn’t really live up to the road rage stereotype.
Nissan drivers are less confrontational, instead opting for a more subtle passive aggressive tactic to air their frustrations.
Audi drivers scored worst for parking across two bays, parking on double yellows outside a school and parking in a parent and child space, without a child. The latter an absolute bane of young parents’ lives.

Volvo drivers came out top of the class living up to their safe and secure stereotype, followed closely by Hyundai and Honda.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of them all was that BMW owners failed to top any of the 33 misdemeanour categories. However, if next year’s survey includes ‘having no idea where the indicators are located’ or ‘falsely applying performance badges on non-performance cars’ this could all change!
