More than 2,000 people took part in the research, commissioned by Aviva, which found that some 53% of passengers felt unsafe as a passenger in a vehicle. Younger passengers were the most nervous.
When is comes to who is the most likely to make passengers nervous, spouses and partners are to blame, with 21% of travellers blaming their other half. Women are more likely to complain about their partner (26%) than men (16%), the figures revealed.
Elsewhere, male friends are more likely to worry their passengers than female friends (19% vs 9%, respectively), while dad drivers are more likely to make passengers nervous than mums (9%, compared to 8%).
Reasons for leaving passengers nervous include driving too fast, driving aggressively, and a lack of concentration from the driver.
While a number of respondents did not confront their chauffeur, of those who did, 36% said their driver argued that there was nothing wrong with their driving, while 28% accused their passenger of 'over-reacting'. Others (25%) were told to stop being 'back seat drivers', while 17% admitted the driver just ignored their concerns.
Peter Markey, Brand and Marketing Comms Director for Aviva, said: "We've been on a mission to help make Britain's roads safer for some time now and this latest research backs up what we already know – that most of us think we're good drivers, but others may not necessarily agree."
