A new study has found that men are more polite than women when it comes to sharing the road. u00a0 However the research into driving behaviour also revealed that about 60 per cent of Brisbane drivers, both male and female, show selfish behaviour when it comes to sharing the road by not stopping at intersections to let another motorist in, while 40 per cent did. u00a0 The survey of 1,000 motorists at three Brisbane intersections, carried by University of Queensland PhD student Redzo Mujcic and Professor of Economics Paul Frijters, found age, gender and type of car could affect the attitude of drivers on the road. u00a0 Men were found to be the more caring of the gendersu00a0-- at least on the roadsu00a0-- where 42 per cent of men were more likely to stop for others, but only 37 per cent of women would stop. u00a0 Both women and men were twice as likely to stop for someone of the opposite gender. u00a0 Mujcic said he was most surprised to discover that men would stop more often than women. u00a0 "We found males stop more often for females, but also that females stop less often for females than males stop for males," the Courier Mail quoted him as saying.
