Some of the world's top tourist destinations are some of the least enjoyable places to drive, according to a new global survey, Euronews reports.

Italy is a world-renowned holiday destination, with wonderful art, iconic scenery and top-class food. However, one metric that appears to leave much to be desired is its roads, and particularly its drivers. Italy is the country with the most aggressive drivers, according to the respondents of a recent global survey, with 23% of drivers claiming they experienced erratic or reckless behavior in the country.

Second place may not be the most obvious, though: the UK is usually pictured with rolling green hills and some of the world's most comfortable cars, yet it ranked second in the poll by car rental platform Discovercars.com, with 11% of drivers saying they endured aggressive attitudes there. London in particular emerged as one of the most mentioned cities.

The US comes in third place with 9%, followed by France and Australia with 5% each.

In joint fifth place, 4% of survey respondents said they had experienced the most aggression on the roads in Spain, with another 4% for Turkey.

The most annoying behavior tends to be failing to indicate at turns (56%).

Tailgating also annoys drivers (46%), even more than slow driving in the overtaking lane (43%), and sudden braking (20%).

Perceptions of a country's politeness differ depending on whether its citizens are on or off the road, although there are still some common trends.

Italians also scored poorly in another poll on manners, ranking among the countries least associated with politeness in general: 24th out of 25 countries according to a poll by financial services company Remitly. Only Austria fared worse.

Firmly at the top of the chart is Japan, where bowing is still considered a sign of respect. It was followed by Canada and then the UK in third place.
