Angry women drivers among takeaway hurlers?
20 March 08

Stressed out women drivers may be among those motorists who resort to throwing takeaways at others during moments of infuriation.

According to findings by motoring organisation the RAC, hurling takeaway food at other drivers is just one of the ways motorists express their anger on the roads.

With the Easter holidays fast approaching, the group is calling upon motorists to keep their cool behind the wheel to avoid ruining their days away from the office.

Sheila Rainger, acting director of the RAC Foundation, commented: "Road rage can be the result if individuals allow themselves to get irate about the standards of others.

"For the safety of all road users, it's best for drivers to admit they can be at fault sometimes, and, recognising that they are not God's gift to motoring, raise a hand in apology rather than the Agincourt Salute."

According to earlier figures from insurer Zurich, 50 per cent of British drivers have fallen victim to incidents of road rage.
