GERMS AT THE WHEEL
CAR steering wheels carry more than twice as many germs as a toilet seat, according to research.
The study found the average steering wheel had 41,600 germs on its surface, compared with toilet seats, which have an average of 17,400.
Five per cent of motorists admitted they had never cleaned their car and just 13 per cent clean their motor regularly.
Scots can claim to be the most hygienic motorists, with a quarter cleaning their car at least once a week, compared with 10 per cent of drivers in the south-west.
So who's all going out to clean their steering wheel?
