FBD and Advance Pitstop driving survey

FBD Insurance and Advance Pitstop have launched its annual study, which seeks to measure the changing behaviour and attitudes of Irish motorists.

This year’s survey will be conducted in the last week of August and the first three weeks of September.

Questionnaires will be distributed at 34 Advance Pitstop branches and 100 FBD branches across the country. The findings of the survey, which will be given to the Department of Environment will be unveiled in October.

The sponsors say last year’s survey highlighted some very positive aspects of Ireland’s motoring culture, but also threw up startling statistics in areas such as road rage, mobile phone usage, driver fatigue and seat belt compliance.
