JOHN: Our respondents were both men and women, but the women were just slightly in the majority. We were pleased by the public's willingness to stop and chat to us...in the end we talked to a total of 135 drivers over those two days.

So what were our findings? Well, as you can see, 93% of respondents had had some kind of problem. A surprisingly large percentage - 24% had had their car damaged in some way, but the main type of incident was being shouted at - 79% had experienced that. 15% had experienced violence on their own persons... they'd actually been hit by someone. The police tended only to be informed when there was physical violence involved.
