Car insurance worry as drivers fail motoring test
02/03/2005
Car insurance providers will be worried by the results of a survey suggesting a gap in the basic motoring knowledge of Britain's drivers.
A national survey revealed that over 80 per cent of drivers didn't know the stopping distance for a car travelling at 70mph in wet conditions.
The survey also revealed that 82 per cent didn't know that it is the passenger's responsibility to wear a seat belt if they are over 14.
Furthermore 60 per cent didn't know that headlights must be used when visibility is reduced to 100 metres.
The survey by insurance provider Privilege will be cause for concern as the government attempts to improve road safety.
An online quote will take less than a minute, and you can see just how much you could save.
