In-car shenanigans should be kept off the road

According to a survey reported on by the Belfast Telegraph more of us argue in our cars than get amorous.

The survey, carried out by a car insurance comparison website, stated that, out of the 2,000 pollsters, 47.5% of men and close to 30% of women claim to have indulged in bedroom activities in their car, while nearly 63% of women and close to 60% of men admitted to having argued in their cars.

Frankly, I fail to see why this is a surprise to anyone – in fact, I am astonished that the figures for in-car amorousness are as high as they are and anyone who has not argued with their children or partner during a long car journey must be an automaton.

But, of course, the results are qualified by the use of the word claim and, naturally, not all of those questioned may have been totally truthful when confessing to arguing in their cars.

If we’re going to be totally devoid of humour, we should of course profess that unless the car is completely stationary and the engine is switched off either activity is extremely dangerous and has the potential to cause a car accident.

So, for the sake of road safety, we implore you – leave your anger in a lay-by and keep your ardour for….anywhere else really.

Happy driving!
