Insurance Times readers spend their time in their cars on the phone, trying not to let their rowdy dogs distract them, according to a new survey.
In the survey of readers, 62% admitted using the phone while driving, with half of these confessing to not always using a hands free kit. But 65% felt there should be a total ban on phone use while in the car.
Readers rated the worst safety hazards on the road as driver fatigue and using a mobile phone without a hands free kit. Pets in the car was rated third.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
