Keep Your Eyes On The Road And Your Hands Upon The Wheel, Boys

Statistics from car insurance provider Sheilas’ Wheels have shown just how much drivers of the male variety can be distracted by lady passers-by.

3 in 10 men confess that they have taken their eyes off the road because of ladies passing by in short skirts or low cut tops. This lack of attention at the wheel has apparently led to a swell in accident numbers in the hotter summer months when there is not as much cause to wrap up warm.

Sheilas’ Wheels who specialise in car insurance for women say that the phenomenon is getting progressively worse with each passing summer. Last year male driver made over 16 per cent more claims in the summer months than in autumn, winter and spring.

The car insurance provider also revealed that 1 in 4 male drivers had crashed in the summer – or narrowly avoided a prang – within the last five years. During the same period, only 1 in 6 women had only had summer smashes.

A spokesperson for the women’s car insurance company pointed out the dangers of wandering eyes at the wheel: “A car is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a distracted driver and a momentary lapse can lead to a lifetime of regret if a serious accident occurs.”

So, come on fellas, do the safe and honourable thing and keep your eyes focused where they should be when you are out and about driving!
