A new survey Britain shows that one seven drivers has had to take evasive action because their own risky overtaking. The road safety charity Brake carried the survey 1,000 motorists. It revealed that 80 per cent of drivers have felt threatened other people overtaking, while 94 per cent drivers said they have witnessed dangerous overtaking. It said the biggest perpetrators dangerous overtaking are young men aged 17-24. In comparison, women drivers are far safer. The poll revealed that while 39 per cent 17-24-year-old male drivers admitted overtaking when they were not sure the road ahead was clear, the figure female drivers doing so was just 15 per cent.

The charity also found that the most dangerous place to overtake was single-lane country roads. Drivers are twice as likely to die rural roads than they are urban areas. Many these deaths are preventable. A spokeswoman Brake said: "We're urging all drivers to avoid overtaking country roads unless absolutely essential and 100 per cent safe." She added: "Why risk it and rush? You could cause a devastating, high-speed, head- crash that ends lives and ruins others. In spite this, a significant minority are still taking the risk and performing this aggressive and selfish manoeuvre… those situations, cool-headed and responsible drivers hang back and relax."
