It's official. Don't mess with mums who drive 4WDs.
A new study by insurer AAMI has found that mums who drive 4WD vehicles are 'aggressive' and 'impatient'. The study looked at driving behaviours of Aussie motorists and found drivers of people movers are the most aggressive on our roads and almost two thirds of these drivers are women aged 25-49.
4WD drivers are most likely to:
– Have had an accident in the last five years because of their own impatience;
– Consider themselves to be an impatient driver;
– Have become angry with the actions of another driver and tailgated them;
– Yell or swear at another driver for doing something they thought was rude or dangerous;
– Ignore restricted speed limits in places like suburban roads or outside schools;
– Gesture rudely at another driver they think was doing something rude or dangerous.
The survey also found that drivers of black cars are more aggressive than the owners of any other colour car.
AAMI spokesperson Reuben Aitchison said, "Getting aggro on the road won't get you to your destination any faster, and the same rules apply to us all."
True.
But, in our defence (yes, I am a 4WD driver)…
