Poor roads 'could end up costing British motorists'

Motorists who have taken the time to search for the best deal on car insurance could end up losing any savings made through no fault of their own, if the comments of one windshield repair group are anything to go by.

Auto Windscreens has suggested deteriorating roads in the UK are resulting in more cases of chipped and cracked glass.

It pointed out that during the summer, it has been dealing with up to 16 per cent more jobs than usual.

Sales and marketing director Nigel Davies admitted a significant number of people had spent additional time on the road this year, after deciding to holiday in the UK.

The company representative acknowledged this was probably partly responsible for the rise in repair jobs.

However, Mr Davies also pointed out: “There is an estimated £1 billion shortfall in road maintenance budgets."

In other news, Auto Windscreens previously reported one of its customers had sneezed so hard that the mint they were sucking flew out of their mouths and cracked their windshield.
