The World Cup has a way of taking over. Late kick-offs, extra time, penalties that run well past bedtime, and then the highs or lows to sit with once it’s all over. The effects don’t always stop at the final whistle though. Over half of UK drivers (57%) believe the emotional highs and lows of major sporting events make people more likely to drive tired or distracted the next day, and one in five (21%) admit to glancing at scores, texts or notifications from behind the wheel.
We wanted to see how that lands closer to home, so we asked our own team a simple question: Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Here is what they told us.

It is easy to underestimate how a big match can carry into the next day. A late night, a couple of drinks to celebrate or commiserate, and a groggy start the following morning all add up. More than 1 in 4 drivers (27%) admit they have driven the morning after drinking without knowing whether they were still over the limit, and alcohol can stay in your system far longer than most people expect.
If there is any doubt the next morning, it really is not worth the risk. And if you find yourself needing cover for a day or two while you sort a lift or borrow a car, temp car insurance from Dayinsure is there when you need it.
