Research published today indicates that 80% of UK drivers break the law on motorway speeding when driving their car, with men being far more likely to do this than women. Oh what a surprise!

The research, which was conducted among 4,000 UK motorists on behalf of online car insurance provider yesinsurance.co.uk, shows that 90% admit to exceeding the 70mph speed limit, with 63% saying they have driven over 100 miles per hour. Shock Horror, that’s an instant ban I do believe. Female drivers are safer when compared with men, but still display a level of disregard for safety and the law. Oops with77% of women admitting to breaking the speed limit, whilst 36% say they have driven over 100 miles per hour. Ladies please; this display of blatant law breaking cannot be tolerated.

But ironically, whilst men are far more likely to speed than women, the research indicates that 31% of men think they are better drivers than women.

Oh I don’t think so and road accident statistics in fact show the opposite. There are 30% more male drivers than female, but they are involved in almost twice as many car accidents as women. Keep this up ladies and for those who admit to driving over 100mph, you are letting our side down as well as risking your lives and licences. So stop it right now.
