Appendix A: about this report

Drawing on 20 years of the Report, new research amongst Britain's motorists, official Government statistics, and various other sources, this second 2008 RAC Report on Motoring provides an analysis of the key technological advances that have affected the way we drive and the driving experience over the last 20 years.

The research for the Report was carried out for RAC by Quadrangle. A total of 1,034 motorists shared their views on motoring in 2008 and how they have changed since 1988 in an online survey during August 2008.

The Report was prepared under the overall editorial control of Tracey Crouch, Head of UK Public Affairs, and has been guided by the expert contributions of the 2008 RAC Report on Motoring Advisory Panel that was chaired by David Bizley, Director of Technical.

The Report was written for RAC by Guy Masters and edited by Rosanna Spero.

The Report was designed for RAC by Curious and printed by Williams Lea.
