Admiral says people underestimate mileage

Many people underestimate the amount they use their cars, according to a representative from Admiral, with the car insurance specialist suggesting that the price of petrol may make the public stop and think about it.

Sue Longthorn, managing director of the firm, made her comments after the organisation found that if all motorists in the UK drove the average of 7,755 miles over 12 months, then the total would surpass 267 billion miles.

She pointed out that it can be no surprise that there is congestion on British roads when people are driving this much, but the increasing cost of travelling this far annually may help to encourage individuals to reconsider their behaviour.

"When you see the total mileage we drive it's staggering, especially when you consider there are only around 246,000 miles of road in the country," remarked Ms Longthorn.

Admiral recently claimed that more multi-car insurance policies may be needed soon, as the number of households owning more than one car has risen 17 per cent over the past ten years.
