Mac's Poll - Let's Vote

British holiday makers believe Italians to be the worst drivers in Europe, according to a survey commissioned by leading car hire comparison site carhiremarket.com. With 34% of the votes for worst Europeans behind the wheel, the Italians topped the table, followed by the French (20%) and the Spanish (8%).

The confident driving style of the Italians, who undergo much stricter driver training than the rest of Europe, could be contributing to our reticence to driving abroad. This was also highlighted through the same survey of 2000 British adults, which found that 49% of us don’t like driving abroad, with 62% of women in particular admitting to feeling scared or uncomfortable in the driver’s seat when overseas.However, not all the votes for worst drivers went to our European cousins. Interestingly, 5% of Britons surveyed by carhiremarket.com thought we were in fact the most reckless driving nation, putting Britain in fourth position.

With the recent news that 75% of all Spanish drivers still have all their points on their license or zero points if we look at it from a  british perspective, I found this data quite surprising and thought it would be interesting to get the member's of EOS to share their opinion. So is this a good result? Does it coincide with reality or your experience? Or is it more due to the fact that in Spain there are far less camaras than in the UK and they get away with more?

In your opinon who are the worst drivers in Europe ?  Please cast your vote . 

[I have added a new functionality to the poll which allows you to add your own answer option. Please limit it to one word, in this case the name of a country that isn't listed. Also on this poll you will be able to vote multiple times incase you can't make your mind up!... although I'm not sure that was such a good idea .  No rage  voting please! ]
