Picture the scene: the sun is shining, the temperatures are sky high and you are out cruising in your car. The radio is pumping, the window is down and your eyes are hidden behind your sun glasses. You can see her in the distance and you can’t keep your eyes off her. You then start singing ‘Pretty woman walking down the street, pretty woman the kind I’d……..then BANG. You have just crashed your car.
It won’t be the first and it certainly won’t be the last car accident caused by a man’s inbuilt hottie-spotting ability! It’s hard to imagine a more embarrassing phone call to your car insurance company when claiming.
Just last month, in a ‘rare’ outspoken moment (note the sarcasm) Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, shared his thoughts on this problem. He remarked: ‘People imagine the most dangerous time of the year to drive is November or perhaps February – dark nights, fog, ice’ He goes on to say that ‘Sunny skies, light breezes, girls wearing short skirts, because the thing is, you can’t not look. You can’t physically not look.’
In a recent survey into the summertime crash phenomenon, a UK surveying team found that 29% of male drivers admitted to being distracted by the female of the species during summer. Contrast this with a low, low figure of just 3% of women being distracted by men during the summer. If you also take into account that men are 16% more likely to make a car insurance claim during the summer months than their female counterparts, then you can see a distinctive trend starting to emerge. One last statistic to fill you in on is that during the last 5 years, 25% of men have admitted to having a summertime crash or a very close call.
Can you as a man relate to the above situation? I think if we are being honest then we would have to say yes. It is a strange phenomenon but a very real thing too. If we want safer roads then the only solution during the summer is for men to keep their eyes and thoughts on the road. You have plenty of other opportunities to view the ladies outside of the car so don’t risk an embarrasing car crash by letting you eye wander. It is just not worth the hassle, especially if your girlfriend catches you!
If you do happen to crash then you want to have the peace of mind of knowing that your motor insurance will protect you. Buy cheap car insurance online at AXA.
