Winter Lateness Caused By Driving

An insurer has revealed that UK businesses could stand to lose more than four hundred million pounds this winter due to staff running late. Over half of the motorists surveyed refused to set their alarms earlier in the bad weather to compensate for the slower driving or bad traffic.

The average motorist surveyed is late to work twice a week in the winter months, with the national average being twenty four minutes. The top five excuses for lateness were: having to spend extra time in the morning defrosting the car, contending with bad weather heavy rain, snow and strong winds, icy road conditions, more traffic on the roads and accidents on route to the office.

Other excuses were flat batteries and car keys breaking in the lock due to the cold temperatures. Most motorists asked said that they find it particularly difficult to get up in the winter, often snoozing their alarm, so could actually be getting up later than in the summer.

Twenty one percent of people asked admitted to breaking the speed limit when on their journey to work, and of those due to be late fifty five percent said they would call to let work know, with forty two percent claiming to text. Not only is this dangerous, but it's illegal! If you were to have an accident, you would invalidate your Car Insurance.

"Motorists should allow extra time in the morning to prepare their car and pre-empt a slower drive with possible delays caused by accidents. Speeding to make up for lost time or using a mobile phone to contact the boss - by calling, texting and emailing whilst on the move - are dangerous and should be avoided. Simple steps, such as setting the alarm clock ten minutes earlier, will lead to a safer drive to work."
