Men who drive blue BMWs are more likely to be aggressive than motorists in any other car, a study claims.
And the peak time for drivers to get angry is 5.45pm on a Friday as they fight the rush-hour – followed by the dismal Monday morning commute.
The likeliest road rage culprits are men aged 35-50 with blue BMW cars, the study of 2,837 motorists found. Drivers also reported run-ins with owners of Land Rovers, Audis, Subarus and Vauxhalls.
Blue was seen as the most aggressive colour, followed by black, silver, green and red.
Men said they lost their temper behind the wheel seven times a month on average, while women got angry on only three occasions.
Drivers most often expressed road rage by shouting and swearing, followed by erratic driving and obscene gestures, the study for discount website VoucherCodesPro revealed.
The poll also found, unsurprisingly, that Monday morning and Friday evening proved to be the most stressful times, when motorists are queuing to get to and from work.
Motorists were asked to pick the make and colour of car from which they have experienced the most incidents of road rage - and blue BMWs came out on top.
George Charles of VoucherCodesPro said: ‘During peak periods of traffic, whether it be the Monday morning school run or the hectic rush hour on a Friday evening, it is all too easy to allow the common manifestations of road rage to get the better of us as motorists.
‘This research, although slightly humorous in some of its findings, does indicate an important point.
‘Road rage is not something to be taken lightly and these results show that many motorists need to remind themselves that sometimes losing your temper whilst driving can result in serious altercations, assaults, and collisions that cause injuries or worse.’

英国一家网站最近一项针对驾驶习惯和行为的调查发现，开蓝色宝马车的男性比其它车型的驾车者更具攻击性，最易爆发路怒症的驾车者也是年龄在35到50岁之间的蓝色宝马驾车者。他们发怒时最常见的表现为大声叫骂，其次为驾车不守规则以及对其他驾车者做出侮辱性手势。参与该调查的2837位驾车者认为，蓝色的车最富攻击性，其次是黑色、银色、绿色和红色。受调查的男性驾车者坦言他们开车时平均每个月要发怒七次，而女性只有三次。另外，周一早晨和周五下午是开车最容易发怒的时段。
