What do you keep in your car? – Government Survey

A recent survey done by the Scotland Department of Transport reveals these tidbits about how much clutter people keep in their cars and when they clean it out.

Some of the things reported to be found in cars:
BAGS of mints, a 13ft trampoline and a stag’s skull complete with antlers are just some of the items people keep in cars.

Many motorists use their cars as mobile wardrobes, with men (20 per cent) almost as likely as women (25 per cent) to store shoes or clothes in their car boots, according to the Department of Transport.

The Department for Transport survey showed that 10% of those polled could not remember the last time they cleared the clutter from their car. Main reasons for women having a clear-out were to give their vehicle a spring clean, while men were motivated by saving money by reducing their fuel consumption through lighter loads”

The DOT says if people would clean out their trunks (boots) they could save money on gas.
