Vanity Behind The Wheel

Posted 31st August 2010

According to the latest research conducted by Churchill Car Insurance a relatively high proportion of motorists have admitted checking their appearance in the rear view mirror whilst driving. A staggering 25% of women questioned in the survey also confirmed driving with high-heel shoes which, have been shown to either get stuck in the pedals or come off all together. In respect of make up, 7% of women questioned in this survey applied this whilst on the move!

Men on the other hand do not fair too much better in the vanity stakes with 3% admitting to using an electric shaver whilst driving. A further 5% of the most fashion conscious men apparently changed into another set of clothes behind the wheel.

The obsession with our appearance does not end here with 7% of those questioned admitting to keeping spare clothes in the car. One in twenty females questioned also keep emergency cosmetics in the car in order to do those last minute makeovers whilst on the move.

Although all this sounds a bit a fun, on a serious note, Churchill are keen to stress that undertaking such activities is regarded as careless driving by the Police which could lose your license and is also hazardous to other road users and pedestrians.
