2009 RAC report on motoring
Just some of the things UK drivers have been telling us...
"My 4x4 might not be fashionable but it's what you need on these Devon roads."

"We moved from the country to the city, so now we use the bus to get around.
But it's still much cheaper and easier to use the car to travel outside Edinburgh."
Lorraine 41

"The increase in the cost of motoring is contributing taxation revenue to the Government
and yet this is not translating into improved roads or other transport services."
Paul 43
Hertfordshire
Company director
"I'm saving for a car, but the insurance will probably cost me more than the vehicle.
Luckily my dad lets me borrow his car occasionally."
Tom 20

"I really enjoy driving but I'm concerned about the environment. So I'm cutting down on
non-essential journeys which also helps with the finances"
