Extensive Research published in 2007 by TomTom in conjunction with Delta Lloyd Insurance, Aon Insurance and Risk Brokers and Athlon Car Leasing in the UK concluded (amongst other learnings) that:
1. NOT having a navigation system increases the number of claimed accidents by 12% and increases the claimed damage costs by 5%!
2. The use of a navigation system increases driver awareness and reduces stress! 78% of drivers say that they feel more in control and 45% feels more alert
3. Driving behavior improves when using a TomTom navigation system! Number of stops reduced with 25% Fewer turns and halt time reduced with 35%
