British motorists adopt a "racing driver" personality behind the wheel, a study has shown.
According to a recent study by the
car insurance provider, Aviva, 16 per cent of the 4,000 participants investigated, admitted to adopting a more "racing driver" frame of mind when their engine starts to run.
The 16 per cent stated they were more likely to feel the urge to overtake other motorists in built-up areas and disregard speed limits.
A third of those questioned admitted to driving fast to impress others.
The study also revealed why
womans car insurance is cheaper than mens as it proved that women are safer drivers.
The chances of a male driver jumping a red light was found to be twice as higher than a female driver doing the same, while younger drivers from 17 and 21 were found being more likely to take risks.
And the answer to my question?... I think a 21 year old male.
