The vehicle glass repair & replacement market was down 11% in the 5 months January to May this year compared to the same period last year – mild weather, fewer potholes, fewer miles travelled more carefully at lower speeds to save on petrol are the factors being blamed for the loss of 400 jobs at Autoglass which has been second only to Toyota in the amount of windscreen glass that it buys.
Presumably the same factors should bring welcome news of fewer deaths & injuries on the roads this year.
