A website, which is regularly visited by motorists with young persons car insurance, has revealed the tactics which are used to combat road rage.
Many of the people questioned by webuyanycar.com said that they had blown kisses to ward off angry road users, and shouted back at aggressive drivers.
One victim said that he had been so worried about the violent intentions of another motorist that he had sought help from the soldiers in an army barracks.
Some drivers said that they are prone to frustration when being pestered by back seat drivers or stuck behind slow moving traffic. Others claimed to have become annoyed during particularly hot days.
Drivers who put their lives and cheap car insurance at risk by using mobile phones while behind the wheel are another cause of irritation.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a considerable number of the survey respondents said that they often became stressed when driving through cities and along motorways.
It is thought that an alteration of the national speed limit may have an impact upon the levels of anxiety felt by these drivers.
It is also supposed that there would be less stress on the British roads if the price of fuel and young persons car insurance were to fall.
