It is found that 96% of people (based on survey of 5000 participants) have been a victim of tailgating at some point whilst driving.

This is remarkably high, however, 50% of people have also admitted to tailgating.

This, as well as Middle Lane Hogging, is covered under the ‘inconsiderate driving law’ which came into force at the same time as the latest careless driving penalties in 2013.

Leaning to Drive in London and Fuel prices

14/8/2015

Driving in London today is becoming even more popular, some even say when you find time driving should be on the top of the list to do. Why don't you take a look at our courses or contact us for more information. Even if you are busy I'm sure we can work around your schedule.

Saying that it means fuel prices are increasing. Did you know that only a very small percentage of the fuel price actually goes to the person selling it to you.

It works out on a £35 spend about:-

65% (£22.75) is paid on taxes and duty.
32% (£11.20) is the cost of the fuel.
3% (£1.05) profit received.

Many cannot believe this but although the figures may change this is only very slightly.

CHECK out our other Fuel Price Blog which is in a colourful image!
