Taking a trip down memory lane

It’s also this generation that is fond of fluffy dice, with one in 10 (10%) still displaying these in their windscreen. Although nostalgic, this could potentially pose a risk, as the Highway Code states drivers should have a clear view of the road with no obstructions, and that they should avoid any potential distractions2.

It seems many also miss a previous car they’ve owned. Just under one in five (19%) miss a car they’ve sold, 15% say they found it really hard to give up a previous car and just under one in ten (7%) still have a keepsake from a car they once owned, such as an old keyring or car accessory.

James Driscoll, Senior Motor Claims Manager at Aviva, said, “While some of us may fondly remember changing CDs or cassette tapes and having large, fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, this could be seen to be a distraction under the Highway Code – not to mention the latter obstructing your view.”
