Scantily-clad women distract male drivers
Men are more likely to be involved in a car accident over the summer - because they're distracted by scantily-clad women, it has been found.
A recent study discovered that in 2009, men made 16.4 percent more car insurance claims during the summer than women.
25 percent of blokes also admitted to having had a summertime crash at some point in the past and being more prone to road rage in hot weather.
However it isn't just the rising temperature getting men hot under the collar, it's also what women are wearing.
29 percent of men say they are distracted by women's summer attire (or should that be lack of it) while only 3 percent of women say the same.
A spokesperson for Sheilas' Wheels, which conducted the study, said: "In the age of air conditioning, you might expect all drivers to be equally chilled out in the summer but men are significantly more likely than women to claim during the summer months - often as a result of temperature rage or wandering eyes.
"We urge all motorists to keep their eyes on the road - regardless of outside distractions - and keep cool behind the wheel. A car is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a distracted driver and a momentary lapse can lead to a lifetime of regret if a serious accident occurs.
