Women's Car Insurance
Men are most likely to speed
Thu, 11 Aug 2005
Britain's worst speeding offenders are men aged between 25 and 34, according to research conducted by M&S Money.
Its Motor Safety simulator, designed to make drivers think about their road habits, showed that over 70 per cent of speeding offences occurred in 30mph zones.
Those least likely to be clocked were women aged between 35 and 44 and it is suggested that this is down to greater journey planning on their part.
David Lewis, a consultant psychologist for M&S Car Insurance has suggested that by not planning a journey beforehand, drivers are much more likely to get lost and frustrated, which leads to speeding.
"People speed because they are in a hurry due to the pressures of modern life, for example ferrying the kids around while trying to get to work on time," he claims.
Given these results it is little wonder that women's car insurance is often cheaper than men's.
