Summer Driving and Saving Money
Summer is here, which means it’s the perfect time to take to have a holiday! Maybe a cheeky staycation, hop down to the great British seaside! If you have a long drive to your destination, what impact will this have on the environment? With more and more people opting for staycations (from the pandemic and ongoing air travel issues) air pollution is expected to increase; That’s why we’re trying to get the UK’s motorists into electric cars. You can save money while saving the environment with a brand new car! What’s stopping you?
We’d All Love to Save Money
Sometimes, this can be very hard, especially with the current cost of living crisis. We want to help you through it, though, and with these few steps, you’ll be on your way to a money-saving summer!
A great way to save money is by switching to an EV through our salary sacrifice scheme. The scheme is offered at a low-risk, low admin package and is free to set up in your workplace. Nothing is quite sweeter than salary sacrifice!
Checking your direct debits also ensures that you’re keeping track of your current expenditures. Cutting back on a Netflix subscription might feel criminal at first but it could save you hundreds of pounds!
Going easy on your accelerator could save you a few miles too, so go easy on acceleration and see just how much fuel you were wasting previously. You’ll be shocked!
Driving Tips to Avoid a Fine
Summer driving is all fun and games. Well, until there’s a sudden new road layout and you find yourself driving in a bus lane! Maybe there are some brand new flashy average speed checks on your route? Big fines coming in the post for you!
Avoid the bus lanes by planning ahead with your journey. Simply check your journey on Google Earth and Maps to avoid the commotion of driving on unknown territory! And, you can easily keep an eye on speed cameras by using apps like Waze; it might just save you a couple of quid and a speed awareness course!
One road safety tip you might overlook is not getting enough sleep! Your reaction speed diminishes when you don’t get enough sleep; so your attention span decreases and you’re at dangerous risk of falling asleep at the wheel, thus putting your and other road users’ lives at risk.
