* UK's most irritating road users?: Tailgaters are
London,UK -HGV - 19 July 2009: -- Tailgaters are the UK's most irritating road users and more needs to be done to tackle the menace of 'close following' according to a new campaign, launched today to improve the standard of driving... The habit of driving too close to the vehicle in front was voted as the most irritating behaviour of other drivers by 36 per cent of road users in an AA/Populus survey of over 14,500 AA members, conducted to launch the Autocar/AA Drive Better Campaign... And not only is tailgating extremely annoying, it's also very dangerous... The AA says that 'detailed analysis of police accident causation figures has shown that close following is a particular problem, contributing to 16 per cent of motorway accidents' ... However, the AA says that it's difficult to judge the scale of close following accidents on lesser roads, 'mainly because many more of the collisions will not involve injury and therefore not be recorded in studies'...Labels: dangerous drivers
