63% of minor incidents such as car park scrapes involve company cars. And 17% of drivers also admitted that they were more likely to break speed limits when driving for work.
Other findings, such as driving economically and taking less care over regular vehicle checks like fluid levels and tyre pressures also point to the predictable conclusion that careless driving is more of a problem for company car drivers than drivers in their own vehicles.
