The rudest and most polite drivers have been ranked- with BMW owners in pole position for bad behaviour.

A survey of 2,000 people by UK insurance firm Go Shorty found BMW drivers were the rudest, followed by Audi owners.

The top five was completed by Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Porsche.

Ford motorists were voted the most polite, followed by Kia, Toyota and Nissan.

BMW drivers were voted the most likely to brake suddenly to scare the person behind, overtake, not merge until the very last minute, honk at someone for going too slowly, and give the middle finger.

They are also considered to be the drivers most likely to honk at someone for going too slowly, pip the horn as soon as the traffic lights change to green, and not pull over for emergency vehicles.

When it comes to what influences anti-social behaviour, one in three believe it was picked up from other drivers, while 21 per cent say it has come from a parent or family member.

Seven per cent picked it up from social media, with a further four per cent blaming their driving instructor.
