Germans caught in traffic jams turn thoughts to sex

BERLIN, May 20 (Reuters) - A third of German motorists fantasise about sex when stuck in traffic while only 10 percent think of finding an alternate route, according to a motor club survey published on Thursday.

Eight percent think about how much petrol they have, seven percent about their next meal, and seven percent about going to a toilet. Six percent think about their careers.

One in ten caught focus on their families, seven percent on shopping lists and another seven percent worry about the damage the traffic jam might do to their clutch. Only six percent said they don't think about anything in traffic jams.

The Auto Club Europa (ACE) in Stuttgart said 1,833 motorists took part in the Internet survey on what occupies their thoughts when traffic comes to a standstill.
