One in four drivers admit they’ve accidentally caused damage to another car in a supermarket carpark.<br /><br />And more than half (53 per cent) have had it happen to them in return.<br /><br />It follows a study of 2,000 drivers which found car damage and dings are a concern for 92 per cent.<br /><br />The research found 11 per cent park over two spaces in a bid to avoid dents, while 18 per cent deliberately park next to the flashiest car they can find, in the hope they’ll be super-careful with their own doors.<br /><br />The findings were commissioned by The AA, to highlight Accident Assist, a 27/7 support service for members, which also built a tongue-in-cheek ‘drive-thru bubble wrap machine’ to show the lengths people could take to swerve scrapes, dents and dings.<br /><br />TV’s Scarlett Moffatt, who took 14 attempts to pass her test, was the first to ‘trial’ the drive-thru.
