We live in a very sanitized, civilized world, but somehow cars do get the best of us and we don’t mean that in a good way. Road rage often extends beyond the driving part itself, and Italians, who are often guilty of really reckless driving and tend to scratch your paint or hit a mirror.
According to a study by the Research and Documentation Center Direct Line, more than 14% of drivers in Italy have admitted that they have vandalized somebody else’s car. Of those, 7% said they streaked the paint, 3% said they hit a mirror and 2% said they broken a wiper.
Less vulnerable are the windows (1%) and tires (1%). On a gender-based basis, 8% of women say they’ve scored a car, while 4% of men say they damaged a mirror.
But it seems that car vandalism is not something that young drivers necessarily do, as only 5% of under-25s admit to damaging the body of somebody’s car, while that figure doubles to 10% in the case of 25 to 35 year olds.
