Men Can’t Keep Their Eyes On The Road During Summertime
Picture the scene: the sun is shining, the temperatures are sky high and you are out cruising in your car. The radio is pumping, the window is down and your eyes are hidden behind your sun glasses. You can see her in the distance and you can’t keep your eyes off her. You then start singing ‘Pretty woman walking down the street, pretty woman the kind I’d……..then BANG. You have just crashed your car.
It won’t be the first and it certainly won’t be the last car accident caused by a man’s inbuilt hottie-spotting ability! It’s hard to imagine a more embarrassing phone call to your car insurance company when claiming.
Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear has never been one to hold back what he is thinking and last month he decided to give his opinion on the matter. He said ‘People imagine the most dangerous time of the year to drive is November or perhaps February - dark nights, fog, ice’ He continues, saying that ‘Sunny skies, light breezes, girls wearing short skirts, because the thing is, you can’t not look. You can’t physically not look.’
New research into this phenomenon has shown that 29% of drivers of the male variety admitted to being distracted by the ‘Pretty woman’ during summer. The same cannot be said for women drivers where only a very low 3% admitted to being distracted by men. Combine this with stats that show that men made 16.4% more car insurance claims than women and a clear trend emerges. 25% of men said that within the last 5 years they have had a summertime crash or very near miss.
I would like to hear if anyone out there has had a similar experience and if you admitted it to your insurance company or your girlfriend. I wish I had some words of wisdom for male drivers this summer but I think it’s pretty obvious, get your eyes off the skirt and keep them on the road. If you want to keep your car in tip top condition then give it the love and sole dedication that it deserves. A wandering eye will lead to mishap and guess who will look like a fool then?
If you do happen to crash then you want to have the peace of mind of knowing that your motor insurance will protect you. Buy cheap car insurance online at AXA.
