In Britain people appear to be concerned about the ever increasing number of cars on our roads and judging by the figures, this is not without justification. There has not been a major study into vehicle numbers throughout the world since 1996. The study that was carried out by the World Health Organization, it did not look encouraging for the UK, and it would not be unreasonable to assume that things have got worse since then. The figures were all measured as car per 1000 of population. Of the countries surveyed The United States had the most at 787, compared with our 408 in Britain. However a quick glance at the map and the size of the respective countries, gives you an idea of just how congested our roads have become. The size of the country concerned is of course a crucial factor. Both France and Spain have more vehicles than us, 524 and 488 respectively but again they are countries that are considerably larger than the UK. Conditions in the UK such as Asthma in children have increased many fold over the years and many fear this is related to our increasing traffic pollution.
Are we better or worse off than motorists in other parts of the world? In some ways we are worse off but in those areas that are the most important, for example safety, we are significantly better off. Many of our contract hire and leasing clients, do complain about motoring in Britain, so we decided to look at other countries and see how it compares.
Jaguar, from motorcycle sidecars to luxury cars
The car voted 2008 What Car, car of the year, was the Jaguar XF, an award that it certainly deserved. Leasing and contract hire brokers are experiencing strong interest the car. It is hard to imagine that its manufacturer Jaguar was originally a manufacturer of motorcycle sidecars called the Swallow Sidecar Company. It started when two motorcycle enthusiasts formed a new partnership in 1922, they were William Lyons and William Walmsley. In many partnerships there is one of the partners who really drives the company forward, in this case it was Lyons.
How do I compare contract hire and leasing offers?
Why is it so difficult to compare the various contract hire deals on offer? One reason is that some contract hire brokers would rather you didn’t make a direct comparison, because their rates are rather expensive. In any event rates do vary from one lender to the next, because they tend to take differing views on the vehicle’s residual value (What they believe, or you could say hope, the vehicle is going to worth when you return it to them).
