A study commissioned by French road operator Vinci Autoroutes has made some quite interesting discoveries this early summer season.

It must be said that this time, the Albanians escaped participation in the list.

This is because the baptized study ‘European Barometer of Responsible Drivers’ included only 11 EU countries.

The 12,4000 Europeans interviewed in May this year were asked about their perception of domestic drivers in relation to their other EU neighbors.

The results were pretty interesting.

Across the continent, a full 79% of respondents had a negative perception regarding the performance at the wheel of their fellow citizens.

Of all the participating countries, however, Greece was the one that stood out the most.

A total of 91% of Greek drivers judged drivers from other countries negatively.

But at the same time, it was the Greeks who reported the highest rates of ‘uncivilized behavior’ from their fellow citizens.

This behavior included swearing, shouting, blowing the trumpet, excessive approach and overtaking, using the mobile phone or even getting out of the vehicle to confront other drivers.

The Greeks got the highest scores in terms of ‘hot-blooded’ drivers – occasionally matching in detail with their northern neighbors.

The Spaniards and the British seemed to be the least judgmental drivers towards other states, while the Germans were the ones who shared the most positive view of their fellow citizens.

The Spaniards were the most ‘responsible’ in terms of using the phone while traveling by car.

Meanwhile, in terms of the noisiest and most stressed drivers, Belgium took first place.

Only 47% of Belgian drivers admitted that they felt calm and relaxed when driving – the lowest percentage of all other countries.

Compared to the Netherlands – a full 2 ​​in 3 drivers felt relaxed at the wheel.

However, the Dutch ranked first in terms of bike lane confusion, with 2 in 5 drivers admitting to having parked incorrectly in a bike lane.
