If there is one thing that a driver who is travelling on their own fears it is the fact that at some time there may be a problem with their car. This is hardly a surprise as now days many people including women are working all different hours and driving further to and from work, doing this every day the chances are that eventually there could be the occasion when there is a problem with the car and in some cases this could leave the driver stranded on a deserted rural road. In this situation it makes no difference if you are male or female.
In a survey conducted by the breakdown service Britannia Rescue it was found that around thirds of the two thousand interviewed are in fact scared of breaking down while driving alone.
But when the figures are broken down it found that ninety three per cent of women would feel scared in that situation and forty five per cent of men would feel the same. However the survey also found that someone stopping to help would actually add to the fear with seventy per cent of women not wanting a male driver to stop.
It is essential that if a driver is worried they should ensure that people know when they are on the road and where they are going this helps if there are any problems and of course to have a fully charged mobile phone for getting help along with the details of their breakdown cover.
