• Over 11 million Brits admit to having sex in their car
• South West residents are the most rampant in their motor
• Over 30% of welsh drivers have either fought or been dumped in their cars
Cardiff (PRWEB) July 2, 2009 -- Research released today from Confused.com has found more than 11 million British drivers, have had sex in their cars. Figures from the car insurance price comparison website puts a completely new meaning on the phrase ’va va voom’ thanks to Britain’s bonking mad car owners.
Performing the act of love isn’t the only activity (other than driving) taking place on British roads. Almost three quarters of drivers are guilty of dining out (when in the car) and nearly 50% of all respondents admitted to catching a few zzz’s. Hopefully such activities are always done when cars have been pulled safely over.
Randy regions have been identified, with residents in the south west claiming the title of Most Rampant. An incredible 47% of the region’s randy drivers admitted to having sex on wheels. At the other end of the spectrum, 33% of welsh respondents admitted to having rowed or broken up with partners in their love machines.
Will Thomas, head of car insurance quotes at Confused.com said: "Our survey provides a rather detailed picture of what some of us Brits are getting up to in our cars. Getting changed through to having sex, are behind-the-wheel activities that could surprise many. However, there is a serious note to these findings which is the distraction element some drivers are exposing themselves to when multi tasking. It’s absolutely critical drivers focus their full attention on driving and the road around them. If a motorist is involved in an accident, whilst being distracted, they can face criminal charges, points and even prison."
It may not be surprising that 47% of Britain’s male Lotharios have admitted to engaging in a sexy activity which was higher than their female counterpart. Fighting seems to be the females favourite past time, with one in three admitting to getting defensive, or even dumped while in transit!
