Commuters encouraged to car share

Fed-up of sitting in traffic jams every day on the way to work? Sick and tired of finally getting to work only to discover there's no room to park your car? Well you're not the only one.

But there could soon be an end to the morning motoring madness if the Government has its way. Because ministers are planning a big car sharing push, designed to free up space on the roads by encouraging drivers to hitch a lift with colleagues and friends.

When you think about it, it actually makes sense. Think of all the gossiping you can do on the way to work, not to mention being able to have a couple of glasses of wine at lunchtime if it's not your day to drive. Your motor insurance premium should be cheaper too because you'll be doing less miles and so your women's car insurance provider should give you a better deal.

As well as getting cheap car insurance and having the chance for a snooze on the way to work, the environmental benefits of car sharing are enormous. It's simple; less cars equals less pollution. Just think of all those trees you'll be saving.

Sharing with a mate could soon get you to work quicker too, as the Government are beginning to implement plans for car sharing lanes on the motorway. Officially called High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes, trials in South Gloucestershire have resulted in a 12% increase in the number of people buddying-up to use them.

So save some petrol, get a discount on your car insurance and do your bit for Mother Nature, give car sharing a go, you know it makes sense.
