• Britain turning into a nation of Romeos and Juliets on the road
• Men are the kings of the road when it comes to flirting
• Southern drivers take chequered flag in flirting stakes
• New Vehicle Body Language (VBL) emerging

Traffic may be at a standstill this Bank Holiday weekend but even if engines are idling the pulses of millions of love-struck British motorists will be racing according to a new nationwide survey. It reveals that around half of all drivers take advantage of increasing highway hold ups to flirt with any road user who catches their eye and sets their engine racing.

The survey, commissioned by car manufacturer GM Daewoo to celebrate the launch of their limited edition Matiz Flirt, found that while grid-locked roads seem set to inflict motoring misery on millions of drivers, for the fast growing army of roadway Romeos and Juliets traffic jams are not so much a source of frustration but an opportunity for some light-hearted flirting.

Men are Kings of the Road

The survey, conducted by renowned psychologist Dr David Lewis – the man who first coined the term ‘road rage’ found that of the sexes, men are the kings of the road with six out of 10 confessing to frequently being attracted to another motorist compared to a third of female drivers.

Almost half of all younger motorists (18-34 year old) admitted to making moves on fanciable fellow drivers.
