Are you an aggressive ‘Type A’ or passive ‘Sunday peace’ driver?
Behaviours profiled in driving tribes study offers hope for better road relations
Bingle’s driving tribes research was independently conducted in 2008 by the Ipsos-Eureka Social Research Institute and involved a workshop with road safety and driving experts to first define driving tribes and behaviours, a series of driver focus groups and interviews to further define the driver tribes, and a survey of 2,408 Australians from all states and territories of driving age about their driving behaviours and attitudes.
Australian drivers have been grouped according to their driving personality, ranging from aggressive ‘Type A’ through to patient and tolerant ‘Sunday Peace’ according to research by Australia’s leading online low cost car insurer, Bingle.
The research suggests our roads are populated by tribes of motorists who share similar attitudes to each other about their driving and that of others. It draws together the characteristics, abilities and behaviours of drivers from all Australian states and territories and profiles them according to how they behave on the road.
