Around 90 per cent of female drivers believe men have irritating driving habits, according to a new study. The study has revealed that while half of women drivers believe they don’t, 90% of them don’t share that feeling when it comes to male drivers and their irritating habits.
Women’s car insurance specialist Diamond surveyed both male and female motorists to find out what irritates them most about other road users and passengers of both genders, and women were certainly harsher about men than the other way around - although they didn’t escape criticism entirely.
The survey showed that 31% of women think the most irritating driving habit men have is speeding, while another 30% think that men who lose their temper is worse.
Conversely, 29% of men think the most irritating driving habit women have is lacking courtesy to other road users.
Diamond managing director, Sian Lewis, said, “The old stereotype that men are always criticising women’s driving has been turned on its head by these results, as it’s definitely women who get the most irritated. However, the results do show something that isn’t a surprise, men think they have less irritating driving habits than women.”
Despite the findings, the majority of female drivers recently told women’s car insurance firm Sheila’s Wheels that they thought the car was the perfect place to have meaningful chats with their partner.
Top irritating male road user habits according to women: speeding, 31%; losing their temper, 30%; tailgating 17%.
Top irritating male passenger habits according to women: criticizing your driving, 35%; trying to give directions, 17%; changing the radio station/music, 10%.
When it comes to passengers, male passengers irritate two thirds of women. Of those, 35% of women are driven mad by men who criticise their driving and 17% can’t stand it when their male passenger tries to give them directions when they already know where they’re going.
