Women and older drivers feel they have the luck of the Irish
With St Patrick's Day around the corner, the Irish might feel they're in luck - but according to new research into drivers' attitudes, women and the over 55s also feel they have the fabled luck of the Irish.
Research conducted by Green Flag Motoring Assistance has revealed that more than 60 per cent of drivers aged 55 or more believe that Lady Luck is on their side when driving, compared with 48 per cent of 16 to 24 year-olds.
Women also seem to think they're born under a lucky star, with 57 per cent of them saying they feel lucky behind the wheel, compared with only 48 per cent of men.
However, luck can only take you so far - regular vehicle maintenance and up-to-date car insurance are vital to ensure your safety on the road.
"It was surprising to see that only around half the drivers surveyed saw regular maintenance as the way to avoid problems," said Green Flag spokesperson Melanie Denny.
"The majority of breakdowns Green Flag responds to are caused by poor maintenance and neglect, and many could be avoided through simple checks such as oil, water, tyre pressure and tread depth."
Adequate car insurance is also a must to be safe and legal on the road - whether you're feeling lucky or not.
