A new poll has found one in three drivers believe cyclists should be banned from main roads.
The poll, conducted by Yonder, surveyed a total of 12,545 drivers and also found 28 per cent of motorists do not consider cyclists as an equal partner on the road.
Motorists who do consider cyclists as equal partners on the highway only just beat those who don't by two percentage points - 30 percent - while 19 percent neither agree nor disagree.
Thankfully, some 89 percent of those polled agreed drivers should leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists.
It comes after a new BBC Panorama documentary titled "Road Rage: Cars v Bikes" aired on November 2, which looked to explore the rift between motorists and cyclists.
In the documentary, Duncan Dollimore from Cycling UK said: "There's a whole group of people who would never go to work and swear or gesticulate at people, but occasionally they might do that behind the wheel of their car.
"It does prevent people from cycling - It puts people off."
At the beginning of this year, the Highway Code was updated to make the roads safer for users other than drivers, such as cyclists and horse riders.
Updated rules included:
Positioning in the road when cycling
Cyclists are advised to ride in the centre of lanes on quieter roads, in slower-moving traffic and when approaching junctions.
People cycling in groups can ride two abreast, and should be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups.
People cycling, riding a horse and driving horse-drawn vehicles on roundabouts
Motorists should also allow cyclists to move across their path when travelling around a roundabout.
This rule also applies to people who are riding a horse and driving horse-drawn vehicles.
