Did you know that an alarming 54% of drivers admit to irresponsible habits while driving which massively  increases the risk of an accident.  While relevant motor insurance is obviously required, many could also benefit from life insurance for peace of mind, too.

It has been revealed that up to 59% of us break speed limits in 60km zones and, unsurprisingly, life insurance research shows that drivers are most likely to do this when they are running late.

One of the biggest distractions is eating and drinking which 53% admitted to doing whilst driving, followed by 12% admitting to smoking, 11% getting organised for a meeting, 7% on a mobile and 6% putting on makeup.

“We live faster paced lives than ever before with technology and goods and services available around the clock which has ultimately led to cultural changes in the way people live, work and as the research has revealed; drive,” said Insurance Kings director Luke Peake.

“We believe that driving is a privilege and with that privilege comes responsibility.”

Research has revealed 1 in 10 vehicles in Sydney are estimated to be driven by uninsured drivers, suggesting that Australians are twice as likely to be involved in a crash with a non-insured car. The risk of death or serious injury when involved in an accident with an uninsured car could have a significant impact on your family finances, which is why many consumers are increasingly taking out a life insurance policy online with Insurance Kings to provide an additional safety net.
