Leggy lasses in short skirts are proving to be a biggest threat to road safety of male drivers.
A new research has shown that car crashes shoot up in summers as most male drivers get distracted eyeing babes in sexy summer outfits.
According to the survey by website uSwitch.com, over a quarter admit being distracted after spotting a hot woman walk past or in another car
The sexy summer outfits have even made 7pct of male drivers have a crash or a near miss. The study shows accidents shoot up by 50pct on the hottest days of the year.
Some also admitted being distracted by insects with 29m admitting being put off if one gets in the car.
Four out of 10 have also admitted getting distracted by children playing up as they hit the road. But drivers also put themselves off.
A third admit fiddling with the radio rather than watching the road and 14% lose concentration adjusting the air conditioning.
Skimpy summer clothes can also cause a problem inside the car as drivers put their foot down. Almost half admit to driving in flip flops or sandals, while 15% wear wedges and one in 10 even go barefoot.
"Drivers are alert to the obvious dangers of driving on a wet or foggy day, but actually, accidents rise by 50% on the hottest days of the year," Daily star quoted Insurance expert Ashton Berkhauer, as saying.
"When the sun comes out it's easy to forget your troubles and adopt a carefree attitude. However, this should not be the case when behind the wheel. Drivers need to make sure they stay focused.
"They should make sure they are fully alert and try not to let their mind wander. Inappropriate footwear could prove fatal, but millions of drivers do not give it a second thought," Berkhauer added. (ANI)
I don’t see a bike in that picture what am I missing?
LOL, Jackie’s best dialog ever.
Why? me in a skirt may stop traffic, but it is due tp the hysterical blindness suffered by the driver as he is shock by my ugliness...
Teen age boys of today will never know what has been lost with the elimination of part time jobs as gas jockeys.
Before the advent of self serve gas pumps, gas station attendents were expected to wash the car windshield as a normal part of the service on every gas purchase.
One high school summer as a gas jockey was a real eye opener in more ways than one.
You would be surprised at the women from all walks of life who made sure the windshield washer got a nice thank you for his hard work.
When hubby or boy friend headed for the restroom or soda machine the skirts would come up - way up much of the time.
When he headed back to the car the hemlines would drop like the final curtain.
As a rule, the bigger and more expensive the car, the bigger and better the teaser.
That is the latest in the series of womens’ dresses.
First came the micro.
Then the mini skirts.
That is the “Don’t bend over”.
Oh dude! That was so horrible it made me cry and laugh and then cry some more.
She looks exactly like my ex #1 did 40 years ago.
Oh thanks!.....As I’m scrolling down checking the bevy of beauties out, along comes a wide ride Sasquatch!
I'm all for leggy lasses in short skirts. With high heels to complete the scene!
You are a sick sick individual.
Great times (and views)!!
Ping for research purposes only
I think she is using a prosthetic.
ohhh...massive, neck-tweaking pisschill...
Mmmmm...a couple of those have got a build that would evacuate a monastery.
Well then, let’s make areas where we can drive slow past the leggy lasses. That way there won’t be accidents.
Couple of pics scared me!
There should be a rule!
