Motoring 'regularly driving women to anger'
07 May 08
Women are now more likely to get angry with other motorists than men, research suggests.
A car insurance specialist claims 21 per cent of female drivers say they often see red mist on the road compared to 18 per cent of men.
The Birmingham Mail quoted figures from car insurer Diamond, which quizzed 1,800 drivers for the survey.
The paper reports: "Motorists are also at the receiving end as 56 per cent of men and 54 per cent of women admit to having been shouted at by another motorist."
Statistics also show modern motoring is also becoming more stressful generally, with 35 per cent of women and 32 per cent of men claiming they find driving more stressful than they did a year ago.
Previous research has shown stress when driving is typically caused by the 'unpredictable' element of journeys, with poor driving by other road users and unclear road priorities adding to the strain.
