Commuting and congestion is a serious topic with workers but as it is Friday tomorrow I though I would post something light about the topic. A few driving points to consider when you are stuck in traffic (not my points before you complain!!)
Women in Ireland cause more traffic congestion then men. Not because they are worse driver but because they are more likely to be in the car. Women are likely to use their car to travel to work, to go to the supermarket, to pick up dry cleaning and dropping children to school.
Women also get more abuse on the roads from men and other women. Men and women are more likely to beep at women.
Finally the level of corruption in a country can be linked to safety on its roads (interesting). This point is backed up by the fact that Norway, New Zealand and Sweden are least corrupt and have the safest roads.
On the subject of roads and cars …..
Why do women not acknowledge when you show them courtesy on the road? A little hand salute or the hazard lights would be nice.
Why do so many drivers stubbornly insist on staying in the fast lane when they have a queue of cars behind? (My pet hate on the road)
