Interesting research by car insurer, Churchill, shows that Brits are such scared drivers, that millions avoid certain routes, and avoid having to turn right. More than 34% of women and 29% of men admit they actually bypass certain routes during busy periods to avoid right turns across traffic, which creates its own problems with traffic build up in urban areas. Navigating roundabouts, cyclists, parking and driving at night all cause trauma for fully qualified drivers, and some even avoid driving at all after dark.Four out of ten motorists (43%) don’t feel confident enough to park where they want, and 13% of these will endure a long walk to avoid parking in a tight spot. 6% only park in spaces they can drive into forwards, and 8% avoid multi-storey car parks. 8% won’t park on the high street for fear of embarrassing themselves (??) and 7% refuse to parallel park.

Motorways are another big fear factor according to Churchill’s survey. 11% of motorists avoid driving on the motorway and 14% only do it when they absolutely have to. One in five people admit that joining a motorway scares them, and once on there, two per cent admit to driving only in the left hand lane. Almost half of all motorists (49%) are not confident to drive at night - around 14% of women and 5% of men avoid driving when dusk falls. Poor visibility, being followed by a stranger and sheer panic are all reasons people avoid night time driving. Or they think the lights are coming from completely the opposite direction which causes confusion and fear.

Frances Browning, spokeswoman for Churchill Car Insurance said: “When motorists pass their driving tests, it doesn’t necessarily qualify them as a confident driver. As our research shows, there are those who actively avoid certain driving manoeuvres, sometimes to the extent that they don’t drive on specific roads or at specific times. It may be worth undertaking a refresher course now and again to increase driver confidence and make the roads safer for everyone.”

In addition, drivers’ fears are exacerbated when they leave Britain’s shores with 16% of women and 8% of men refusing to drive on the continent. Drivers say they don’t understand the road signs, have heard horror stories from pals about bad experiences or fear they could get lost.
