Van drivers the safest! 10th September, 2008

Tesco confirms what van drivers always suspected.

According to research by Tesco Van Insurance, van drivers make fewer claims than other British drivers.  In fact, the claims that are made are also smaller! 

Perhaps this is because 1 in 5 van drivers have undertaken specialist training or an advanced driving course.  Allan Burns of Tesco Van Insurance said, “Van drivers are often stereotyped as rogues of the road however, our own records show that van drivers are actually very safe drivers and in our eyes they deserve a good insurance rate.”
