cars.com's Kicking Tires blog discusses a study at
Insure.com where 1,000 married people were surveyed about admitting to their spouse where scratches, dents and dings on their motor vehicles had originated. According to the internet survey study:
"35% admitted to dinging the car themselves and telling their spouse that someone else did it. Fully one quarter said they kept a traffic ticket secret from their spouse, and nearly that many have kept a car accident secret."
Men were found to lie about twice as often as women. No statistics are provided on the percentage of those that lie in internet survey studies.
