Do you think you have any irritating driving habits?

A new survey 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.

It’s not the picking of noses, scratching of private parts but surprisingly speeding is top of the list of irritating habits men have that drive us females to distraction at 31%. .

While 30% of women think the most irritating driving habit men have is losing their temper, and 17% get utterly annoyed when they are tailgating

So dispelling the myth 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.

Even when the men are the passengers with 35% of women being 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. Less than half of the men questioned found female passengers irritating, but having their driving criticised was also what annoyed them most.

So, you men out there, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
