Almost two-thirds of drivers would own up to damaging someone else’s car even though it could mean a costly claim on their motor insurance.
Research by RoadTestReports.co.uk found that 61 per cent of motorists would admit to doing the damage, even if no one was around to witness the accident.
Nevertheless, 39 per cent would sneak away to avoid the risk of having to make a claim on their motor insurance.
RoadTestReports.co.uk said that this is a “major headache” for victims who have the upset of finding their car damaged as well as potentially an expensive repair bill which they may have to use their own motor insurance to cover.
“There is still a minority of more devious sorts who would worry about the cost to themselves and the effect on their insurance rating,” said Faye Sunderland, spokesperson for the website.
Recent research by Kwik-Fit found that tailgating is the most hated habit among motorists.
