Gone driving

Have you ever gone for a drive, just because you felt like it?

Apparently, according to a survey by a car insurance provider and Populus, a lot of people do.

They polled more than 20,000 motorists, and revealed that 55% of drivers have got behind the wheel and gone for a destinationless spin.

Furthermore, 10% of people do it every week!

It sounds unwise, when you think about how expensive fuel is at the moment…

However, I know how nice it can be to just drive. 

Owning a car is like having a room no-one can barge into – it’s relaxing. 

In your vehicle you can go where the wind (and importantly the road) takes you. No one can pop in to say that some programme on TV’s just about to start, or to ask you why you haven’t cleaned the dishes yet.

Of course, it’s very important not to get too carried away. The road is no place for dangerous or distracted drivers!  So, if you fancy going for a drive, make sure you’re not doing it in an emotional state – otherwise you could suffer a traffic accident.
