Who is Britain's most feared driver? According to Royal & SunAlliance, white van men and boy racers are the most feared drivers in the UK.

Pedestrians fear younger drivers' propensity for speed, while fellow motorists are most afraid of white vans that suddenly appear in their rear-view mirrors.

School-run parents, Chelsea tractors and motorcyclists also raised the ire of British drivers, says the insurer.

An old lady in Backchat's neighbourhood who veers across the road at about 20 mph in a beat-up old banger is our nomination.

But strangely there was no mention of the most fearsome sight of all - a broker running in his new Beamer. Terrifying stuff.
