According to a survey of motorists, they are most afraid of having their car break down and having to wait for help.

The roadside services program from Allstate Insurance recently conducted a survey of drivers and found that their greatest fear is to experience a breakdown that causes them to have to wait at the side of the road for help to arrive.

Being stranded in an unfamiliar area causes the highest amount of anxiety among drivers.

The Allstate Roadside Services research determined that among the motorists who participated in the survey who had experienced problems while driving, 47 percent felt helpless and overwhelmed. Allstate Insurance also said that 62 percent had said that they had felt anxious from the experience. Another 52 percent said that they felt angry, while 36 percent had said that they were afraid. A full 40 percent said that their immediate inclination was to call roadside assistance or a tow truck in order to receive help.

The Allstate Insurance survey results were released in conjunction with the introduction of a new roadside solution.
