The number of households with two cars is on the rise as demand for driving continues to rise.<\/p>\n
Research by LV= revealed the number of two-car households have increased by half a million annually.<\/p>\n
There is now a total of 541,600 households with two cars in the UK, with 24 per cent of drivers admitting they drive more than they did just 12 months ago.<\/p>\n
According to the study, work seems to the main reason for the increase in motoring, with 40 per cent adding miles due to a longer commute, while 30 per cent just spend more time on the road because of work commitments.<\/p>\n
Other reasons for the purchase of a second car, including the school run, new hobbies and ferrying children to various extra curriculum activities.<\/p>\n
LV=’s managing director of car insurance, Selwyn Fernandes, said: “From ferrying the kids to and from out-of-school activities, through to the daily commute, the second car has become a vital part of everyday life for many working families and deserves just as much appreciation as ‘main’ cars.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
