MEN are much more willing to drive after drinking than women, according to research by a Swansea-based insurance company.
Women’s car insurance specialist Diamond has revealed the anti- drink and drive message has got through to most women motorists, but has failed to get through to as many men.
The study of more than 3,000 motorists has shown more than six out of 10 women would only feel safe to drive having consumed no alcohol at all, compared with just four out of 10 men.
Not a single woman questioned would consider herself safe to drive after five or more units, but one per cent of men said they would feel safe to get behind the wheel of a car.
Diamond managing director Sian Lewis said: “The anti-drink drive message does seem to have hit home with women, and most aren’t taking the risk, but with long summer nights there is a temptation to have one drink.”
