GAS-GUZZLING Brit motorists don’t care that their driving is harming the planet, a study shows.
Five million Brit drivers will never change their driving habits, according to new research, even though high speed, heavy braking and using air con are all bad for the environment.* However, more than a third (34%) of motorists in East Anglia have adopted a smoother driving style in an attempt to reduce their emissions.
More than half (51%) of 25-34 year olds don’t even know that a smoother driving style can reduce vehicle emissions. Less than two in ten (14%) of the country’s 33 million motorists have changed their behaviour on the road to be more eco-friendly, according to a survey by Lightfoot. The research also revealed that more than two thirds (69%) were unable to identify driving behaviours that increase emissions.
