It is quite likely that you have already encountered an inconsiderate motorist today. Perhaps you made a pit stop while en route to work. After fueling up your ride, you activated your blinker and attempted to make a right turn out of the gas station parking lot. However, alas, your initial attempt was thwarted when an approaching vehicle sped up instead of allowing you to merge onto the road.
Regardless of the route, we often find ourselves in the company of drivers who are seemingly oblivious to their surroundings or are downright hostile. It's also true that, at some point or another, we have all (perhaps unknowingly) fallen into one of these categories.
All of that said, there are motorists that make our commutes a little more pleasant. Chances are, these delightful creatures are driving vans, says Swinton Insurance. The U.K.-based insurer conducted a study of 2,000 drivers and found that van drivers "show unprecedented levels of courtesy."
