Lady drivers told to protect cheap car insurance by reporting dirty signs
A breakdown company is urging female drivers to report illegible road signs in order to prevent accidents and protect women's cheap car insurance rates.
According to Autonational Rescue, there is a huge problem with road signs being so dirty they cannot be read, as well as signs being shrouded in spring vegetation.
Where vital road signs cannot be read because of dirt or overgrown plants, motorists' lives could be put at risk - not to mention their motor insurance.
A spokesperson for Autonational Rescue said: "Road signs are designed to warn motorists of hazards and when dirty they aren't easily seen, especially at night.
"Relying on the public to report any problems seems to be the norm across the country, but what is needed on councils' maintenance calendars is a scheduled wash 'n' brush up for signs."
Gemma Turner, of the cheap car insurance company CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, commented: "If you do notice a sign that is practically illegible for whatever reason, it is well worth getting in touch with the council.
"Most councils offer online forms as well as telephone contact so it is quick and straightforward to report any issues you spot."
