An AA populus research survey shows that slow-moving caravans came second on the list
A populous survey commissioned by the AA has revealed that 15 per cent of those surveyed concerning drivers’ biggest annoyances on the road have listed slow caravans as their main bugbear.
The revelation comes as the survey – mostly completed by individuals within the 45 – 54-year age bracket – also revealed the biggest annoyance was people throwing rubbish out of their windows when driving. Slow caravans came second.
The results of the survey are as follows:
- Throwing rubbish out of the window 34%
- Slow caravans 15%
- Groups of cyclists 13%
- Inconsiderate parking 10%
- Dawdling/lost drivers 7%
- Loud music with the roof down or windows open 7%
- Sightseers stopping without thought or consideration 5%
- Overloaded cars with no view to the rear 4%
- Groups of motorcyclists 1%
Edmund King, AA president, said: “We’ve been enjoying some fantastic weather so far this summer, so hopefully these annoyances won’t stop Britain’s motorists enjoying the sun and having a brilliant few months.”
Well, it certainly won’t stop us, Edmund. In a way it’s nice to see ‘slow’ caravanners sticking to the correct speed limit which is what, evidently, many people surveyed had an issue with.
What do you think?
