During their driving lifetime, the average driver breaks the speed limit an astonishing 18 000 times.
That's what UK road safety charity Brake says, as part of its campaign to get drivers to slow down to slow down to 32km/h or slower in built-up areas, to help reduce road deaths during the British summer holidays.
For parents - four out of five of whom are already worried about letting their children play outside due to the threat of speeding traffic, the British report makes disturbing reading.
It shows the average driver will have 81 near-misses and be involved in as many as 35 minor accidents such as bumps and scrapes.
It also reveals the activities, apart from dri ving, which are carried out at the wheel.
The study involved examining the habits of 2000 drivers; researchers found the average driver covered nearly 480 000km or 12 times round the world - during their lifetime.
Also, nearly 80 respondents (that's four percent) admitted they'd actually fallen asleep while driving.
