UK drivers love their music, finds Vauxhall

Research conducted by Vauxhall Motors has revealed that the UK is a nation of music lovers who just can't bear to be without good tunes in their cars.

The motor manufacturer's poll of 1,200 drivers showed that 41% of drivers consider their car to be the best place to listen to music; more than double the number who said their home was their favourite music setting.

32% of those interviewed by Vauxhall even admitted that they make trips in their vehicle just so they can turn on the stereo, whilst 76% said it is essential to prepare their music before setting out on a road trip.

The Corsa and Vectra-manufacturer also found that some motorists use their car as a secluded place to indulge their secret passion for easy-listening or heavy metal music.

A spokesperson for Vauxhall said: "These results reveal just how much drivers enjoy the freedom to listen to what they really want to hear thanks to their car. Not even we anticipated the emerging trend of cars being the place to secretly stash your guilty pleasure songs.

"Vauxhall will have to look into creating hidden compartments to hide those forbidden tracks to keep your image intact."

Car insurance news 2005

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
