Driving specialists from LeaseVan.co.uk have debunked seven driving myths to ensure Britain’s drivers are both safe and legal. These are LeaseVan.co.uk debunked driving myths:
5. Having open alcohol in the car
Passengers can drink as much alcohol as they like, providing they dont cause a major distraction to the driver. You should be aware, however, that breathing in alcohol fumes could actually effect you when it comes to a breathalyser test.
6. You get more petrol when its colder
Its believed that as petrol gets warmer the particles expand so that when you pump it, youre getting less than you would if it were cold. Not true! Petrol is stored underground meaning it isnt really affected by warmer air or sunlight.
7. Driving round a roundabout
Many people believe that driving around a roundabout more than 3 times is illegal. There is nothing in the law that states this, other than if its deemed as careless driving.
