Drivers across the UK have claimed that other motorists towing
caravans are among their major road gripes, according to a new
survey.
Research from ITV Local reported by Crash.net identified motor
home carriers as annoying to drivers, along with those who use
their phones behind the wheel and people who litter highways.

The study also found that one-third of motorists set off on
journeys without adequate preparation and one in ten motorists had
been physically assaulted on the road.
Such aggressive drivers, along with people who cut up others
while travelling, were cited as particularly annoying.
Similarly, motorbike riders causing queues were also named as
gripes, as were motorists who travel slowly and those playing loud
music in their vehicles.
This follows a report from the Royal Automobile Club Foundation
last week, which found that 85 per cent of people on the road
considered themselves to be considerate when driving.
