Drivers traveling alone are fearful that at some point their car might breakdown.  This comes as no surprise since motorists are spending more time than ever in their vehicles.  Drivers have long commutes to work, and spend a lot of time running around doing errands, so it is inevitable that motorists will have their cars breakdown at some point.  Both male and female drivers fear the occurrence of a breakdown.

Britannia Rescue recently performed a survey showing that around two-thirds of drivers who were questioned admit to having breakdown fears.

Specifically, 45% of men and 93% of women were fearful.  Also revealed in the survey was that people have an even greater fear of having another car stop for help.  In fact, 70% of the women interviewed admitted that they wouldn’t want a male driver to stop and offer help.

Having your car breakdown is a scary situation.  However, having an emergency roadside assistance program that you can depend on in case of an emergency can alleviate this fear.  After all, it isn’t always safe to accept help from a stranger.
