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

not with someone i could name

I am a woman and I tend to get quite upset on the road. I didn't know I was in the majority. I give the finger, I scream, I honk that horn like mad. I am such a nice lady off road. I think it's because men tend to think woman are non entities on the road and we have to be assertive. But here's a secret.... it is so cathartic!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sounds about right where I live.

This has not been my experience.

I'm sorry to say I have to go against the women for a change, I always side with women for some reason. I'm basing my answer mostly from what my wife says. She works in an office of 50 women, and they say that women are the more aggressive drivers. So, I guess I am siding with the women again and I didn't even realize it. I'm still on the tank of gas I filled on 1/25/12, that's how little I drive because of my being house bound, so I'm not in the mix of drivers as most normal humans.

Women tend to express themselves.

How tactful, D D. :)

As a professional truck driver, I have been known to whisper a few not so nice comments about the way drivers of cars don't use their turn signals, and cut me off, and drive slower than the posted speed limit. But my wife, I have heard her say things to other drivers that she won't even say to me in the heat of passion. I have seen her flip the bird and stare down people in the other car. Sometimes I am afraid she is going to piss off the wrong person and I am going to get my ass beat.

Me "@$^*(&(@#$&*&^%&#@&" boyfriend "It's ok just calm down, calm down"

Every person I know with road rage issues is male.

Sure... and when you are flying your invisible plane no woman ever gave you the finger when you cut her off. ( I am being sarcastic and joking. Some people don't know that and get really agrivated at some of my responses. I just wanted you to know that.)

I'm glad you let me know that because as I started to read I thought, oh God here we go & it's much too early for this lol

ive seen both even im prone to road rage but the other person always starts it

Awoman nay get mad but a man is more likely to do something about it.

It depends on many factors: like upbringing, socioeconomic background, even family constellation but not men/women.

I am sure the stats showed that as correct but that conclusioncould change based on another city, etc.

In a studdy like this one side will always win because it is a one side vs. another side - badly defined poll .

The percentage of men I've seen in my life with road rage rules over the women.

I have only ever seen men!

Studies can be made to show an outcome that the originators want. By selecting certain times of day, cities, locations within and without...statistics of working women to men, children per family, age of inhabitants, demographics, etc... get the picture

I think everyone is capable of blowing up when frustrated

Anybody can have blowups from stress...we all are under tremendous stress, some more than others....but men tend to act out more often on their stress.....
You generally don't see bars full of women sitting around drinking to excess after a bad day....Women just generally tend to handle their stress better...it seems to me...
I get ticked off at drivers, but I talk to myself about it in the car...I don't drive like an idiot as regards the other car, or flick them off, or pull in front of them and hit my brakes...all things I have seem male drivers do....and more...

Well going on myself.....no. But on observing others, I would say it's about the same. I won't say I don't say "Stupid ass" or other terms when I'm driving, but I keep it in my car, no yelling out the window at them or giving anyone the bird! What really annoys me is when people don't use cruise control and they speed up, then slow down as they start talking (right foot is controlled by their mouths), I just wait for my chance to get around them, then may speed for a few miles just to get ahead of them! God knows I'm no Angel!

I don't see it. It's mostly men getting beyond upset when they actually duke it out with someone, or worse, bring a gun into the situation. That is having serious issues.

my husband used to get really mad but hes calmed down a lot lately about stupid drivers. ive seen more men get mad and yell and even get in fist fights than women about driving.

That's what I've witnessed on the road.

My Husband used to beat on the dash (He was always riding, never drove much) and keep telling me to flip them off, I'd keep saying "what good does that do?" Just smile at them (if they act like their doing it intentionally) and that really gets them ticked! LOL I had one on the freeway one day that I was watching weaving in and out of lanes trying to get ahead, It was two lanes and by the time he got behind me I had lined up beside a car that was doing the speed limit and I did to. I watched him in the mirror bouncing back and forth and getting mad and I just kept looking at him and when he looked at me I'd just smile. He was getting red faced with anger that I finally had enough of that game and let him by. Told hubby about it when I got him and the said "it's women like you that get us ticked off!" LOL If men would calm down a little that wouldn't happen, you should be prepared to have to do the speed limit now and then!

You have not seen my mother.

I call BS.

Me too, I don't see any validity to this so called "study."

Maybe, but only because women tend to be more emotional. That being said, I don't think female road rage turns violent the way male road rage does.

Women tend to be more temperamental, and they can get away with aggressiveness more than men.

Very well could be true. I know I get angry with poor drivers.

I know I experience a tremendous amount of road rage on my 30 mile drive, fighting bumper to bumper traffic all the way.

Just glad I have the option to work from home 3 days a week. :-))

disagreeee

But usually doesn't lead to a violent conclusion.

I got some bad road rage.. if someone cuts me off i will litterally follow them home and estroy there car. im kidding dont troll me people.

Maybe it's the male drivers they are raging against?

Oh wow! Another female ego that can't take criticism.

You can never really tell about study results, never.
And it does not sound right.

On the other hand I learned my, very, cool, driving attitude from a male instructor.

Especially about one week a month.
