Ridgewood NJ, A new survey of America’s commuters reveals the Women More Prone to “Road Rage” than men The Harris Interactive study conducted between May 14 and June 4 of this year of over 3,800 full-time employed commuters

Harris found that America has some very angry drivers, and quite a few who aren’t entirely safety-conscious. Chief among the finding were that many folks text and drive, and far more especially women have a tendency to fly off the handle and go into “Road Rage” .

Here are the major takeaways:

Chief among them: many folks text and drive, while far more — especially women — have a tendency to fly off the handle.

Women are more prone to road rage than men. Of those surveyed, 61% of women said that they had experienced road rage, compared to 56% of men.
Younger drivers are more prone to road rage than older ones. Roughly 68% of respondents between 25 and 34 years old said they experienced road rage, while just 47% of those 55 and older said the same.

It’s too darn hot (for road rage): 17% of those surveyed said they experienced less road rage during the summer months, while 10% said they experienced more.

Roughly 9% of commuters have actually gotten into a fight with another commuter.

Almost one in four commuters — 24% to be precise — has been involved in an accidenten route to work. We’d expect that figure to be a little higher because…

Fully 30% of commuters have sent text messages while driving to and from work.
