TRAVELLING to work by motorcycle is less stressful than by any other vehicle, according to the results of a new survey.
The study of 2,000 UK commuters asked ‘Which methods of commuting do you think are most stressful?’ from a list of ways to get to work.
Cars scored 41%, buses 37%, trains 35%, the underground 26%, cycling 8% and motorcycling just 6%.
The survey, commissioned by motorcycle insurance specialists Lexham, also found the average British commuter will spend over £48,000 in their lifetime just getting to work.
A spokesperson said: ‘Taking a motorbike was one of the lowest scoring in terms of stress,’ adding: ‘The results showed that riding a motorbike was six times less stressful than driving a car.’
Of course we could have told them that and saved them some bother.
