More than a quarter of drivers feel ‘biker envy’
And it’s going to take them more than half an hour to calm down, according to survey
EVER come across one of those drivers who seems determined to stop you filtering even though they have nothing to gain?
Well, here’s a satisfying thought: they’re probably just jealous, and it’s going to take them more than half an hour to calm down after they arrive late for work.
A survey found 27.8% of drivers experienced ‘biker envy’ when motorcyclists passed them in traffic and it took them an average of 34.2 minutes to feel calm and in control again after getting to work late.
The survey of 2,000 commuters by motorcycle insurer Devitt also found that employees lose on average 29.6 minutes of work a week because of heavy traffic, costing the UK economy £203,846,153.
Almost 13% had missed a job interview while stuck in traffic, while 32.3% said they would try to sneak into work unnoticed on arriving late.
We’ve got an idea for them: get a bike.
