It’s obvious that insurance companies recognize the fairer sex are generally better drivers, with car insurance for women costing less than that of their male companions, demonstrating greater caution on the road.

That said, it appears both women and men cannot agree on what constitutes good driving, a recent survey found that one in five relationships end after a dispute about driving.

It seems that the battle of the sexes is no more evident than behind the wheel of a car, meaning that how a spouse behaves on the road is increasingly more important to the longevity of your marriage as well as the effects on your car insurance.

With an increased population on Britain’s roads, it can only get worse, with driving becoming an increasingly nerve-wrecking way to spend your time.

So you might want to think long and hard before spending a large amount of time on the roads this holiday season.
