Drivers Ignore Safety Advice


	How clean is your car? This last habit is potentially the most dangerous as cans and bottles can be lethal to the driver and other road-users if they roll under the brake or clutch. Ensure items of luggage are securely stowed. Almost 6 million (19%) make sure they're never caught out when hunger strikes by keeping a supply of snacks and drinks in the car. cheap uk monthly car insurance Read more...

30/09/2005 New research reveals that 85 per cent* of parents did not bother to replace the baby or child seat following a car crash. This is in spite of warnings from safety experts that they should be replaced after an accident otherwise they may not protect a child in a future crash. The research from Churchill Car Insurance shows drivers are not responding to this safety advice despite the fact that around 30 children up to the age of 11 are killed while travelling in cars and around 450 are seriously injured each year. Many of these could be avoided with the proper use of child restraints **. Lack of awareness is the main issue, as a quarter of UK drivers (27 per cent) don’t realise that they should replace a baby or child seat after an accident.

	Over half (58 per cent) of those who had crashed said they didn’t replace their baby/child seat as they couldn’t spot any damage. Even if there is no visible damage, the force of a car accident can weaken a child seat to such an extent that it will not provide the same level of protection in another accident. In order to improve customer safety, Churchill will now replace any child seats in the car - regardless of obvious damage - if a customer’s car is involved in an accident and the baby or child was in it, or if it is stolen or damaged by fire. Darren McCauley, Head of Car Insurance at Churchill said: “This is a serious issue, as our research highlights a lack of awareness around baby seat guidelines. Our new benefit will help parents with replacement costs of child car seats after an accident.


	Unsafe use of navigation equipment. cheap uk monthly car insurance 21 February 2006 In-car navigation equipment could be proving to be more of a hindrance than a help to the nation’s drivers, according to new research by safe driver champion, Privilege Insurance. Nearly one in eight (13 per cent) of drivers who use a satellite navigation device while driving confess to not spending any time planning a route they are unfamiliar with prior to setting off, relying heavily on the equipment to get them to their destination.

	Even if there is no sign of visible damage, a baby or child seat should still be replaced to make sure that it still fits properly and provides the best protection for the infant or child.” Cost is also a factor, as 6 per cent of those who crashed say that child seats are too expensive to replace after a car accident, even though the average seat cost them just £60. A further 6 per cent thought fixing the car was a greater priority and 4 per cent simply ‘haven’t got round to it yet.’ Two thirds of drivers questioned think that children no longer need their child seat after the age of seven when in fact, current guidelines*** recommend that children aged under 11 should use a child seat, as seat belts alone are designed for people 150cm (5ft) and taller.


	One In Seven Cars Vandalised - Residential streets (31 per cent). The fear of vandalism is causing one in 10 (13 per cent) drivers to boycott destinations they think are high risk, while one in five (19 per cent) refuse to buy a prestige motor because they feel it’s likely to be targeted by vandals. According to Direct Line research more than half (58 per cent) of all motorists who have experienced car vandalism in the past year did not report the crime to the police as they felt the authorities would not act. cheap uk monthly car insurance Read more...


	The DfT has proposed new legislation to require all children travelling in cars to use child restraints. Darren McCauley continued: “We welcome any changes that will make travelling in cars safer for children. A quarter of parents say that they are not confident enough to fit a child seat correctly, so parents should seek the advice of a trained professional**** to give them peace of mind when driving.” Based on research carried on behalf of Churchill Insurance among 1,572 parents in August/September 2005. * Figures from www.childcarseats.org.uk *As stated on www.childcarseats.org.uk **parents can search on www.childcarseats.org.uk for local car seat check points in their area.
