23 June 2008 – Carrentals.co.uk believes that a good instructor will help a student driver become more mindful of safety while driving. To show its commitment to road safety, the company has conducted a survey to highlight the significance of proper driving instructions in the maintenance of road safety. This was especially relevant after the Department of Transport in UK showed that there are more than 70 injuries occurring on the roads of Britain everyday.

According to Carrentals.co.uk Managing Director Gareth Robinson, the abilities of a driver are very much dependent on the kind of driving instructor he has. He said that if a driver is given the proper driving instructions, he would have the necessary knowledge to become a safe driver.

Based on the answers of the nearly 1,000 clients who participated in the survey conducted by Carrentals.co.uk, George Clooney and Channel 5 newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky were chosen as the most preferred driving instructors. Clooney finished ahead of second-placed Richard Branson, while Trevor Macdonald, Shane Richie, Peter Kay and Simon Cowell managed the 3^rd to 6^th spots respectively. Clooney got the most votes from women aged 55 and younger, while Sir Trevor MacDonald was favoured by female drivers who are aged 55 and older.

Kaplinsky, on the other hand, finished on top of Kylie Minogue, who was also the first choice of male drivers from the 25 to 44 age group. Jo Brand, Sharon Osborne, Barbara Windsor and Jordan took the 3^rd to 6^th spots respectively. Osborne got the most votes from 17 to 24 years old male drivers.
