Should these viewers face an increase in their vehicle insurance?
/// One in 20 of those questioned say they have had a near-miss or an accident while rushing home to watch television. ///
/// Shockingly, six per cent said they would break the law by speeding or jumping a red light. A further six per cent were guilty of road rage while trying to make it home in time to catch what judges Len Goodman on Strictly or Gary Barlow on X Factor had to say about their favourite acts. ///
I don't know about others, but I find Saturday's TV programmes among the worst of the week's viewing.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.They would need to bring saturday morning cartoons back for me, thundercats, x-men, cities of gold, bravestar, he-man... that sort of thing. I do like certain programs but they're mainly comedy which I can watch on i-player at my own convenience and not some tv schedulers or cooking progs. I think these days being able to choose when you watch a program rather than have it dictated to you is more important.
nearly a quarter of drivers in britain have been penalised for speeding in the past four years, according to official figures, so its likley that the 6% would probably be speeding anyway without laying reason to tv schedules.

I have always said but when people pour out of work and get in their cars its the worst period of the day to be out driving. I think there must be a correlation of those unhappy in their jobs and the instances of bad driving.
As you say Saturday is a bad day for watching TV and it seems the TV bosses have packed up and gone home for the week-end. Maybe when we get dancing on ice back soon there will be an improvement.
