but it is the journey that matters in the end."

Average speeds and average mileage

Taking into account speeds on all roads (including motorway driving with long & short journeys), it might surprise you to know that government statistics* report the yearly average driving speed as being less than 30mph.

 
What might surprise you more is how long this means you are spending behind the wheel!!


* 21,590 is the average yearly mileage for a company car driver
