A survey conducted for GIO has found that eight out of ten NSW motorists have experienced discourteous driving, even though 85 percent of those surveyed believed it was “very important” while driving.

The “State of Courtesy” survey asked 1621 drivers aged 18 years and over if they had experienced discourteous driving in the last 12 months, concentrating on 13 bad-mannered behaviours.

Discourteous behaviours ranged from driving slowly in the fast lane and not providing a friendly wave for letting others merge to “playing loud music with the windows down” and unnecessary use of high-beam lamps.

taxi drivers ranked poorly.

The survey also found that bad weather, delays caused by collisions, peak hour and Friday afternoons were the times a driver was most likely to experience rude behaviour.
