WEIRD
NEWS OF THE MONTH: JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE
The average driver emits more than 912 pints
of gas (farts) inside a car during his or
her lifetime. This strange factoid, and
others, was revealed by BBC Top Gear magazine
in a list of statistics profiling the average
driver.
The survey also found the average driver
will have sex in a car six times in their
lives. They will spend around two hours
and 14 minutes kissing in their vehicles,
researchers found. Mr. or Mrs. Average will
swear or blaspheme 32,025 times behind the
wheel. And peckish motorists each munch
through about 21 lbs of chocolate as they
trundle along. They will also nod off at
the wheel 11 times and jump 181 red lights.
The average driver will also honk the horn
15,250 times in a lifetime and be locked
out of their car nine times.
Mr. or Ms. average driver believes their
driving is better than 87% of other drivers
and they pay attention to only 35% of road
signs. In a lifetime of journeys, the average
woman driver will throw two-thirds of her
body weight out of the window as rubbish
or other matter, while men will throw their
entire body weight out.
No statistics were issued regarding motorcycle
operators.
