Pooling cars may reduce the chance of being in an accident
Following the increasing American practice of car pooling, driving with passengers could reduce the likelihood of being involved in an accident on UK roads according to research just published by Privilege angeles car insurance los.
The results suggest that improvement starts with the attention that motorists apply to the road. Approximately 40% of drivers reported that they had lost concentration whilst driving alone, but only 22% said they had when they had others in the vehicle.
When it comes to actual incidents, 10% of motorists said they had been involved in an accident when alone in the car, whereas half of that number, just 5%, said their accident took place when they were carrying passengers. The factor of being responsible for others in the car appears to make drivers more attentive and careful.
From this evidence Privilege suggests that pooling cars for the millions of commuter journeys performed every day would help reduce the number of accidents and make the roads a safer place. Even planning and combining family travel requirements so that more than one persons uses the car for as many journeys as possible should help reduce road incidents.
Most angeles car insurance los policies include not-for-profit car sharing as standard.
In the USA where, as in the UK, the morning and evening rush hours account for a large percentage of monthly private mileage undertaken by many households, some 15 million commuters are involved in regular car pool arrangements.
Of those surveyed around 20% of drivers suggested they may car pool with fellow commuters if their journey was also improved by the introduction of car pool lanes on heavy traffic routes. Nearly 50% of those questioned believed in car pool lanes, specifically on heavy commuter roads and of those three quarters believed that car pool lanes should share the existing and new bus lanes.
