Students choose night out over repairs!
on November 28th, 2009 at 10:13 pmA quarter of car owning students would blow their budget on a night out, rather than fix a tyre. That’s according to Kwik-Fit, which has looked into attitudes amongst Britain’s 300,000 car owning students – some 25% of the total student population. It shows that around one-in-five (20%) car owning students have driven an unroadworthy car in a bid to save money. The figure jumps to more than one third (37%) amongst male car owning students. But it’s not just necessities such as books, rent and food that are taking priority over car maintenance. Indeed, one third (32%) of car owning students confessed that they would choose to blow their last £50 on a big night out rather than replace an illegal tyre – even if it meant driving home on it the next day.
