[A] new study from the U.K. that finds the source of anger for many drivers regarding bike riders: ignorance of the rules of the road.

"The survey of 1,000 drivers from across the UK found that they regularly lose their temper with cyclists under the belief that they’re breaking the law or cycling without due care and attention," explains Howells. "As a result, 39 per cent of drivers surveyed confess to having got angry with a cyclist."

MoBikeFed comment: This study was done in the U.K. Do you think U.S. drivers are similar, or different?
