Scaffolders at high risk of drink drive convictions

Mercedes-Benz Atego stands the test of time

Recent analysis of car insurance quotes by MoneySuperMarket (analysis carried out on over six million car insurance quotes between 1 November 2017 and 31 October 2018) suggests that scaffolders have a higher rate of drink and drug driving convictions than most other occupations.

Scaffolders were ranked third in the analysis with 5.32 drink drive convictions for every 1,000 drivers. Only plumbers and mature students living at home showed to have higher conviction rates.

With nearly a fifth of drink drive convictions attributed to ‘the morning after’, it could be that scaffolders are being unwittingly caught out as they drive to an early job.
