Canterbury is the road rage capital of Kent according to research published today.

A report by insurance firm Privilege says 47% people in the city regularly experience someone else's fury with an incident every 21 minutes.

The report says Canterbury's motorists drive for 53 minutes every day, cover 22 miles and experience between one and two incidents.

Nationally, 69-year-old men have been identified as the worst culprits and 7.30am as the most common time for road rage.

Privilege spokesman Emily McNally said: "It’s what we do next that is shocking– rather than turn the other cheek nearly half of us give as good as we get with a verbal or physical gesture.

"Impatience and bad manners are the root causes for most road rage – cutting up sends three out of five people into a rage, tailgaters offend around half of drivers and not saying thank you bugs a further one in four."

The report says Lincoln is the worst town or city in the country for road raging motorists.
