Hall is managing director of RAC Insure, and told Auto Express: "We have to acknowledge the idea of owning a car may soon be a luxury many can"t afford. And we should perhaps not be surprised that some break the law, such as by driving uninsured, to cut costs." According to new RAC figures (see table, below), the average car costs í‚á£101.75 a week to run - that"s more than í‚á£400 a month. And adding to the burden is the news that recent rises in petrol prices are pushing up the bill by a further í‚á£102 a year. According to the motoring organisation, drivers should reduce their costs by opting for vehicles powered by diesel. For example, a Ford Mondeo owner can save í‚á£7 per week by swapping from a petrol model to an oil-burner - that"s í‚á£373 over 12 months.

This is despite 70 per cent of motorists voted throwing litter out of windows as "the most annoying habit on the road" in a new report.

Sofas, TVs, baths and fridges are some of the bulkiest items abandoned, said researchers at vehicle breakdown company Autonational Rescue. And they discovered wrecked and burned-out cars dumped along main roads and in country laybys.

The firm"s survey also counted dropped chocolate wrappers, drink cans, fast food packaging and cigarette ends, which it claims cost an estimated ÷£332million a year to clean up.

"By their very nature, litterbugs in cars are hard to catch unless a note is made of their registration plates and evidence captured," said Autonational marketing manager Ronan Hart.
