Woman car insurance customers more polite than men

Vans United research has shown that woman car insurance customers are more polite on the roads than their male counterparts.

The van supplier found that female drivers are more courteous on the roads than men, thanks to behaviours like letting other people out at junctions - something which three times more ladies than men do.

However, the research didn't just focus on woman car insurance customers. It also found that bus drivers were thought of as the rudest people on the road, whilst van drivers are most likely to let other motorists (although especially other vans) out at a junction.

A spokesperson for ladies' car insurance company CoverGirl Car Insurance Services said: "It comes as no surprise to us that women are more courteous on the roads than men - the difference in behaviour on the roads is quite clear from the divide between men's and women's car insurance premiums.

"However, we were a bit surprised to learn that van drivers are the most likely to let other people out at junctions - this certainly challenges the "White Van Man" stereotype."
