Every 2 out of 10 Motorists Around You Have Un-roadworthy Cars

Survey shows that more than one in ten motorists around you are driving un-roadworthy cars and they usually ignore vital repairing and maintenance

 

A recent survey has pointed out common motoring issues and one which is alarming because when one vehicle leads to an accident on the motorway or even on a local road, there are many others who suffer. It is a big mistake to ignore the common or even vital repairs on the cars.

There are several factors which lead to a person, not looking after the laziness such as very high repairing costs, a bit of laziness or lack of time and unavailability of good auto technicians. This particular survey has been conducted by the Car Loans4U Company, and findings of the survey are very alarming for us and motoring authorities. Survey shows that more than 2 out of every 10 motorists are driving un-roadworthy cars because they are short of money and unable to bear maintenance costs.

The survey also reveals that there were thousands of drivers on the road using cracked windscreens, damaged tyres and unfit brakes. The majority of drivers admitted that they are driving the car without brake lights for months.  Some of them also admitted that their car had damaged seatbelts that don’t work properly.

James Wilkinson, CEO of Car Loan 4U, the company that carried out the research, said: “When something starts to go wrong with your car, it can be daunting if you don’t really have the money to fix it.”
