Politest Drivers Revealed (Infographic)

We're big fans of car infographics and this cool good driver bad driver infographic was right up our street. A recent study by MoneySupermarket.com looked at the driving etiquette of motorists and revealed that owners of Ford cars are the most polite on the road. They were found to be the most likely to let other motorists out at junctions and the least likely to fail to stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings. They were also found to be considerate of cyclists; with 85% of Ford drivers claiming that they always make sure that they leave enough room for cyclists compared to just 25% of white van drivers.

Funnily enough white van drivers stuck to their stereotype to be the rudest drivers on the
road. They were found to be the least likely to indicate at roundabouts and also the least likely to let
other motorists out at junctions. But on the upsdie, white van drivers turned out to be the best parkers; with 75% of the white van drivers surveyed claiming that they always make sure that they park within the lines and in spaces which do not inconvenience other motorists. This compares to just 30% of Jaguar drivers, who were found to be the least considerate of others when it came to parking.
