Government action for drivers

May 7th, 2010

Recent research from swiftcover.com found that 80% of drivers want the new government to cut tax on petrol, improve congestion and help the environment, however not many believe that any of the parties will make a positive difference for drivers. Here are a few interesting statistics which they found:

• 50% of drivers don’t know which party would be best
• 11% of drivers believe a Conservative Government would be best for motorists
• 6% say a Labour Government would be best
• 3% feel the Liberal Democrats would be best for drivers
• 2% say the Green Party would be best

The survey also showed how strongly drivers feel about change:

• 80% of drivers want the tax on petrol cut
• 43% want a reduction in road tax
• 61% want the government to get tougher on uninsured drivers
• 43% want greater action to punish dangerous drivers

Hopefully the new government will start to take more interest in motorists concerns and start taking positive action for drivers.
