Black Vauxhalls!
As part of my quest to utilise my commuting time, I decided, for 1 week, to start voice recording and tracking the make and colour of cars that either; didn’t indicate when changing lane (or roundabouts etc), were driving in the middle lane with no reason not to pull in (I did give benefit to some drivers), and fast lane drivers.
Some stats for you:
- 17% of the incidents I recorded involved Vauxhalls (of any colour).
- Fast lane drivers only seem to drive black or grey coloured cars!
- Mercedes were the 2nd worst and Peugeot 3rd.
- I saw 57 counts of bad driving in 710 miles
- White, Yellow and Green cars seem to have the safest drivers (admittedly there may be less of these on the roads)
Obviously the data is not conclusive as I may be subject to bias (region, commuting time, car make or colour).
The data was captured after 710 miles of driving, including the m40, m25 and a40 (Oxfordshire) traffic.
