Brit women drivers are ruder than males
London: The belief that male drivers are ruder than their female counterparts has been turned on its head - at least in modern Britain. A survey by car giant BMW of 1,000 Brits found that at least in this one European country, women motorists are more likely to be the ones that hurl insults at other drivers.They survey also found that Brit women are more likely to call other drivers ‘idiots’ and less likely to apologise, reports The Sun . Even when it comes to polite gestures, Brit women fall a bit behind their male counterparts. While 48 per cent of men will thank another driver who lets him into a line of traffic, 46 per cent of women do the same.
The survey also found that over time, a new unofficial “language” has developed in the world of motorists.
When it comes to saying ‘thank you’, most will put their hazard lights on and off. However, an ambivalent gesture is flashing headlights, as that can be used to show either appreciation or anger.
