Safe driving habits

Can the type of car you drive affect your driving habits?

You may think that those who drive luxury cars, like Lamborghini’s and Aston Martin’s, may have some of the worst driving habits but a study by Canada’s first online insurance marketplace, Kanetix says it’s not the case.

In a recent study by the company, 71 per cent of drivers who own those vehicles hold a clear driving record.

Natasha Carr, Community Manager and Public Relations Associate with Kanetix.ca tells 570 News that the study also found that “KIA drivers report the highest number of accidents, with 15 per cent having been in an accident over a two year timeframe.”
