Study Reveals Women More Prone To Road Rage Than Men: Agree?

Lmao!! Smartass post of the day.

Women are less likely to step out of the car and get into a fist fight over a minor incident.

Harris Interactive surveys are based only on self reporting- they are not scientifically valid. I complete surveys for this company.

See Bibliophilic? No better than the way you said it!

I know I have it.....hard to control it though

Could not have said it better myself.

Did you know speeding is defined in many states as a form of road rage?

Like many things that become "public safety campaigns", the definition of road rage has been GREATLY expanded over the years. The term no longer means just those things you think it should.

Well said!

I know I'm way worse than my husband.....

And I am speaking for myself I am the queen of road rage lol

Not the Queen! LOL

Haha lol I gave no experience but I have a feeling I am ti

Finally a study involving women that isn't kissing @$$. I think it's possible. You have no idea the mood swings you can get, especially around slow drivers and tailgaters and people that cut you off or block you......

More frustration! More Rage!

20 minutes ago I crossed the street with the walk sign. Some woman came within inches of hitting me. She was going fast and it looked like she was just going to turn right on red without stopping. She was waving around a sandwich and laughing hysterically. She yelled 'Sorry!" OK I know this is rage, I was the one who got enraged when I walked up to the pasengers window and said," Sorry won't undo any injuries if you had hit me." (Bad choice.) She kept on laughing and eating her sandwich then turn right on right really fast.
I vote women because I am guilty ow "WALKING RAGE."

I know it's not scientific, but it seems like I have had a lot more women cut me off then flip me off through the years then men have!

some of these women "have an axe to grind"........women are sometimes WORSE than men !!

That's a weak poll; you need a much larger number and cross section of all groups for at least more accuracy.

Not from what I've seen anyway.

Hell yeah! Just the other day this old lady shot me the bird lmao. I should've shot one back but you have to respect your elders.

No brainer...

that's why I never travel with my sister anymore!

Yeah, I've definitely noticed that in Melbourne lately, especially since I bought my latest car about a moth ago...it's modified & very quick, & I swear that I've copped a lot more "road rage" from females because of it...& the way that I drive it - fast, but never rude or aggressive - perhaps?!

Probably and men are more likely the ones causing the road rage :)

Sure, regardless of what insurance stats say, the women I have ridden with are awful drivers. So, it makes sense that if you are in aggravating situations more, you are going to have more opportunities for road rage.

I would have to see more evidence of this before I can agree to it.

Bitches is crazy, yo

I can believe that, my niece has a problem. I do not get it. She is a stay at home mom so it is not like she is under some time thing but she bugs out in traffic...LOL

Guilty as charged!

By disagree, I don't mean, "No way." Instead, I mean that you cannot form a reliable conclusion from a single epidemiological study. You can't even form a reliable conclusion from many unless they're all thoroughly vetted: There are a thousand and one ways to skew them on purpose or on accident, and it seems more and more rare for me to find one that effectively isolates the variable under study. Another Michael below cited other variables that could affect the results in general, although I do think the "working" part was accounted for by this study (then again, government employees and self-employed people were discounted, thereby skewing the demographics): "certain times of day, cities, locations within and without...statistics of working women to men, children per family, age of inhabitants, demographics"

For that matter, the road rage aspect of this study appears to have relied on self-reporting: It could simply be that the potentially nonrepresentative sample of women involved in the study were more honest than the men or had a lower threshold for what constitutes "road rage" to them.

Of course, it could also be that women are more prone to road rage...but with a ton of other explanations for these results, why assume the most insulting possible one off the bat? The same would apply if men ranked higher.

.......but mainly on the pedicure, manicure, and bikini wax appointment days I suspect.

LMAO...good one.

But FAR less likely to act on it.

I have bad road rage

Actually, I am not really sure that women are really more prone to road rage than men - maybe, maybe not. Just some random studies cannot give a general idea.

Personally, I have seen more men than women swear and drive dangerously.

Here in Europe, certain machist prerogatives are persisting, namely regarding driving. Men are still taking more risks than women, not only for themselves but also for the other traffic participants and their passengers. And women, who are anticipating and cautious while driving are considered dumb and bad drivers ...

The problem is presently the texting and telephoning while driving, and both sexes are concerned. Here in Europe, they introduced very strict laws in this regard, as an increasing rate of accidents was due this new trend.

I'm a woman and yes, total road rage here! lol

Since the study specified commuters, I agree. But I doubt that around-town woman drivers are more prone than men -- they're more prone to oblivion imo. Talking on their phones, talking to friends in the car, talking to kids in the car...

Sometimes it feels really good to cut loose at some idiot -- nobody can hear me.
