The “Kia Motors’ Cleaner Driving” report has revealed that UK motorists spend more than two days each year (49.5) stuck in stand-still traffic. They also found that the average Brit will spend 91 days of their working life grinding to a halt trying to reach their workplace.

The headlines of the Kia report are:

-Two-thirds of drivers (66%) admit to speeding when the traffic clears up to make up the time.

-62% of drivers get angry when they hit queues.

-33% admit having experienced road rage in heavy traffic.

-One in five (19%) have suffered a bump or accident on route to work.

-44% are regulary late for their work due to traffic congestion.

However the report also found that 30% of motorists have ruled out public transport due to inconvenience and 72% said they value the privacy and space travelling to work in their car.
