Nationwide Survey Shows Widespread Ignorance Of Link Between Car Maintenance And Road Safety
Less than a third of UK motorists spontaneously mention that having working lights is critical to road safety, according to research by MORI1 on behalf of Unipart Group of Companies. For just under a half, the importance of well-maintained tyres does not immediately spring to mind and 20 per cent do not recollect that the upkeep of brakes is crucial.

This, of course, contrasts with the opposition to joining of the majority of the public. The Captains have always been more euro-friendly than the public, but in the last two years before the 2001 study the gap had been narrowing; the most recent figures show a sharp business swing in favour of the single currency, though as the table shows the balance of opinions has effectively simply reverted to that from 1999.
