A new study reveals that Britain is a nation of adventurous lovers as 41% of us admit we've made love in our car.
Women's car insurance specialist, Diamond, questioned 1,000 motorists as part of its Love Behind the Wheel study. They were surprised to find as many as 4 out of 10 people admitting to making love in their car, and intrigued to see a disparity between genders, with 52% of men admitting to being in-car Casanovas compared to just 34% of women. Of motorists who haven't, 30% said they would consider using their car as a love nest in the future.
The Welsh proved to be the UK's biggest in-car lovers with 46% admitting to being amorous behind the wheel, followed by the North West on 45% and the North East and Scotland, both on 43%. At the other end of the scale Londoners sit at the bottom of the list at 35%, with Yorkshire and the South East both at 36%.
Diamond managing director, Sian Lewis, commented, "It's surprising to see that so many people have used their cars in this way. Who knows, it could be that the bedroom just isn't as much fun or people simply can't wait to get home. With considerably more men than women admitting to making love in their car, you have to question if this is a case of men exaggerating their in-car prowess or women not wanting to admit to it."
22-29 year olds are the most amorous age group with 47% admitting to it, but it's not just the younger generation who've done this as 39% of the 60+ age group say they have as well.
