2.7 million drivers involved in an accident in last five years – fun and affordability more important to the accident-prone – Roy Morgan Research

According to the latest Roy Morgan Automotive Monitor, 2.7 million Australian drivers (18.5%) have been involved in an accident in the last five years. The highest accident rate is amongst younger people, and especially 18-34 year old women; 24.3% of whom report having been in an accident while driving in the last 5 years. Looking at this group attitudinally, we observe some telling differences between those involved in accidents and those who remain bingle-free; the accident prone preferring cars that are cheap to buy and fun to own.
