If you’re a guy who finds himself phantom braking while sitting in the passenger seat as your wife or girlfriend drives, you’re not alone. A new survey by the online market research firm OnePoll.com reveals most men feel they're better drivers than women. One in three men surveyed admitted they were actually “frightened” by their partner’s driving.

A spokesman for the research company said most men believe they are better drivers than the women in their lives, in that they “believe they concentrate a lot better, read road situations more quickly and clearly and have better reactions.”

Additional results from the survey:

•One in five men said they can never relax while their other half is driving.
•One in five couples have argued about their partner’s driving.
•One in ten men said they had been forced to grab the steering wheel when their better half took her eyes off the road.
•One in ten guys said they have felt it necessary to ask their wife to pull over so they can take over the wheel.
•Men’s biggest complaints about female drivers were they are too easily distracted by children, scenery and other motorists.
•The men surveyed also complained that women brake too late, brake too hard, drive too fast, tailgate, play with the radio too often and fail to signal properly.
The OnePoll.com survey involved three thousand men.
