Do you feel stressed out even before you get to work?
Research by online insurer swiftcover.com reveals that one in eight British drivers (12%) find driving to work the most stressful regular journey they make.
And three-quarters (74%) of them blame their journey from hell on the sheer volume of traffic.
Also at the top of the league table of most stressful regular journeys are the weekly trip to the supermarket (10%) and trips away on Britain’s roads, including Bank Holidays (10%).
Across all regular journeys, volume of traffic is again the main culprit for nearly two-thirds (64%) of drivers who get het up behind the wheel. Poor or slow driving by others is the second reason (45%) for grief, along with the dreaded hold-ups such as road works, deliveries or refuse collection, which accounts for four in ten (40%) tense drivers.
Of course it comes as no surprise that men get more stressy than us cool calm and collected ladies especially in traffic, someone else’s driving (obviously not their own) and being delayed..
Whereas we would sing away our stress, these poor men will turn to their sat nav believing this little gadget will keep them in control.
Ah, bless their little cotton socks.
