Women Drivers - Irritated or Irritating?!
A recent survey by women’s car insurance providers Diamond found that the majority of females (90%) though male driving habits were irritating. However, half also believed themselves to have annoying motoring tendencies.
The survey shows that it is definately women who get more irriated by men, rather than vice versa; turning the old stereotype of men criticising female drivers, on its head. However, although this myth has been dispelled “the results do tell us something which isn’t a surprise”, says Sian Lewis, managing director of Diamond, “men think they have less irritating habits than women”
The majority of women felt that the most annoying habit of male drivers was speeding, with almost one third or respondants selecting this tendency. In comparison, most male drivers who beleived women had bad tendencies said their most common complaint was that women were not courteous to other drivers.
35% of women were driven mad by men criticising thier driving and altough less than half the men questioned found female passengers irritating, it was having their driving criticised which annoyed this minority the most.
So it seems that women are simply just angrier drivers than men. Being both more irritated at themselves and at men than the men are themselves. But although they may be irritated, it seems that men actually don’t find them that irritating after all. Perhaps the anger shown by female drivers is a symptom of insecurity about how they wil be judged by their male couterparts. Perhaps women shoud embrace the results of this survey and have more self confidence in their ability to drive. Who knows, maybe this would decrease road rage. Although, of course, if all those ‘blasted men’ stopped speeding too it wouldn’t go amiss!
