Credit card provider warns that regular drivers 'can become to self-assured'
Sainsbury's Finance, which offers credit cards and loans, has carried out new research that has revealed more than two-thirds of British drivers admit to have engaged in some form of potentially dangerous activity while driving in the past month.
According to the research, this is a 4% rise on this time last year.
Sainsbury's found that 43% of drivers admitted to eating and drinking while driving in the past month.
Meanwhile, nearly a third of motorists asked said they had driven while feeling tired.
Lucy Hunter, Sainsbury's Car Insurance manager said: "People who drive regularly can sometimes become too self-assured behind the wheel, especially if they are driving on roads they know well. Often this leads them to drive in a manner that significantly increases the level of risk to themselves, their passengers and other road users."
Sainsbury's Finance is a joint venture with Lloyds Banking Group and offers credit cards and loans, as well as car and travel insurance.
It recently discovered that Brits plan to take a total of 56 million holidays this summer and will spend around £43.86 billion on them.
