Over a quarter of men polled (29 percent) claim to be distracted by women wearing “summer attire” according to research coming from U.K. auto insurer
In contrast, a mere 3 percent of women admitted to being distracted by men while driving, Indeed, the report contains other data points that suggest that women are better drivers than men, at least in the summer. For example, twenty-one percent of males in the study admitted to being more susceptible to aggressive driving during the summer. Correspondingly, 25 percent of males, compared to just 17 percent of females, cited being in a crash or a “near-miss” situation throughout the last five summers.
The insurer also boasts in-house data from last summer, which found men incurring 16.4 percent more claims than women. According to Sheila’s Wheels, females behind the wheel are “calmer, less distracted and safer on the roads during the summer months than men who appear to suffer more from both hot tempers and heated libidos when the temperatures soar.”
