Of those who intend to holiday in Ireland, the coastal counties are proving to be the preferred destination with Cork, Galway, Kerry, Mayo and Wexford coming out on top. Galway appears to be the most popular of all with almost 30 percent of respondents planning to 'head west' this summer. 60 percent of respondents estimated that their car journey will take three to four hours with most travelling with family members to their holiday destination.
When it comes to travelling companions, a quarter of those surveyed identified 'road rages' (people who get worked up about other drivers' behaviour - and yours!) as the worst type of passenger to share a car with. The best type of passengers were those who enjoy a good laugh.
More than 60 percent chose to while away the hours on a road trip by listening to the radio, playing CDs or playlists. U2 are the guy's favourite with girls preferring Adele. Least popular was One Direction! Interestingly in the age of tablets and portable DVDs, more than 25 percent of families play the old 'eye spy' game to keep the kids occupied on long journeys.
Whatever, just stay safe and have a good time!
