National Survey Finds St. Louis “Least Likely to Curse and Multi-Task” in Road Rage Study
Norwalk, Conn. – May 15, 2007 – The commute to work can be an unpleasant one for people across the country, but the road may be a little less bumpy for St. Louis drivers.
The second annual In The Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey, commissioned by AutoVantage, a leading national auto club, found that drivers in St. Louis are least likely to curse as a reaction to rude or aggressive driving (16 percent) and to multi-task (shaving, putting on makeup or reading behind the wheel) while driving at 10 percent.
Overall, St. Louis was named the fourth most courteous city out of 24 other major American cities surveyed. Last year, they ranked as the third most courteous city.
The In The Driver’s Seat 2007 AutoVantage Road Rage Survey, released today, was conducted to determine the driving habits and attitudes of commuters across the U.S. and to learn more about consumer views on the topic of Road Rage.
“Road rage has unfortunately too often become a way of life, both on and off the track,” said NASCAR racing TV personality, radio host, best-selling author and AutoVantage spokesperson Liz Allison. “More and more, in cities across America, people are acting out their frustrations with dangerous results. It’s bad for professional and everyday drivers alike.
“Our Road Rage survey shines the light on emerging driving trends, and there are some very interesting results.” |
