<\/a><\/p>\nSome 3500 respondents participated in the anonymous survey- which identifies participants by gender, state, income, car and driving history- and the results are enlightening; some adding strength to old adages, others shattering them into oblivion. For example:<\/p>\n
Money doesn\u2019t buy happiness: <\/strong>Respondents earning over $200,000 per year are 60 per cent more likely to get angry behind the wheel than those on under $40,000.<\/p>\n Texting and driving: <\/strong>58 per cent of 26-40 year olds admit to texting while driving, making them more likely to offend than the 18-25 bracket (51 per cent). Only 2 per cent of those over 75 years of age text and drive.<\/p>\n At-fault accidents: <\/strong>While 35 per cent of respondents reported an accident in the last three years, only 17 per cent admitted fault for a minor incident\u2026that number dropped to only 4 per cent when admitting fault in a serious accident where police were called.<\/p>\n Women Drivers<\/strong>: Sorry ladies, after carefully analysing 2403 responses from men and 988 responses from women, it appears that women are actually around 40% more likely to be involved in an accident per kilometre driven.<\/p>\n Additionally some 1980 respondents added commentary on the standards of driving in Australia and our worst offenders. From Holden drivers\u2019 aggression through to \u2018distracted\u2019 P-Platers, through to the age-old argument of undertaking versus those hogging the right lane, the comments have sparked no end of debate.<\/p>\n The true beauty of the Private Fleet Driving Survey lies in its interactivity.
