eQuoteDirect Evaluate New Research Which Suggests Company Cars Need More Protection Against Texting Drivers
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/11 -- Expert insurance brokers eQuoteDirect are concerned about research detailing an increase in the number of mobile phone users who text at the wheel. The brokers warn that adequate motor trade insurance is now more important than ever, as to protect businesses frequently taking company cars to the road.
The warning from eQuoteDirect comes on the back of a recent survey which revealed one in three drivers text while driving. The brokers are encouraging any business with one or several company cars to obtain sound in order to protect themselves from this escalating danger.
eQuoteDirect are particularly concerned for working drivers because they spend a lot of time on the road - therefore are more prone to encountering these lawbreakers who are using mobile phones while on the move. Working drivers carry out roughly 30% of all the miles driven in Great Britain.
A spokesperson for eQuoteDirect commented:
'It's a shame to think the welfare of your business can be instantly jeopardised by drivers who are ignorant to the law. The best way to protect your company cars from these dangerous roadsters is to acquire a solid insurance deal, for a good price.'
The frightening figures from the Direct Line survey have raised concern amongst road using companies but the brokering service on offer from eQuoteDirect is a sure-fire solution to obtaining adequate and protecting all company cars.
Should the law catch a driver using their phone while in transit (law still applies when stationary in a vehicle), a GBP 60 fixed penalty can be issued on the spot and three points will go on the driver's license.
There are campaigns currently demanding more severe penalties for wrongdoers but this dangerously common behaviour does not look like it is going away, which is why eQuoteDirect are encouraging companies to take matters into their own hands and ensure they are fully protected.
