Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Who is Britain's most hated type of motorist? The swarthy devil who roars by you at the saeed of sound in a soupec-up Maserati? The sales rep with the cutting-edge Corsair? The truck driver holding up traffic on the brow of a hill?

None of these, apparently. Instead, the subject of the nation's ire when it comes to truly, awful, deeply maddening driving is the "Mr Bean" of the motoring world. The type of motorist whose clumsy cuttingup and road-hogging was named by 27% of drivers as their personal vision of roadhell in a survey by Autoglass. However, show-offs, (20%); speed merchants (18%); and itherers (18%) all have their hate following. A complacent 85% of drivers think they are the safest on the road with only 15% admitting to being average. The Hawk, as ever, is ruthlessly honest in these matters: whatever happens, it's all the fault of the other bugger.
