New figures on in-car farting released
The average driver emits more than 912 pints of wind inside a car during his or her lifetime.
The figure is revealed by BBC Top Gear magazine in a list of statistics profiling the average driver.
The survey also found the average driver will have sex in a car six times in their lives.
They will spend around two hours and 14 minutes kissing in their motors, researchers found.
Mr or Mrs Average will swear or blaspheme 32,025 times behind the wheel.
And peckish motorists each munch through about 21 lbs of chocolate as they trundle along.
They will also nod off at the wheel 11 times and jump 181 red lights.
The average driver will also honk the horn 15,250 times in a lifetime and be locked out of the car nine times.
Mr or Ms average driver believes their driving is better than 87% of other drivers and they pay attention to only 35% of road signs.
In a lifetime of journeys the average woman driver will throw two-thirds of her body weight out of the window as rubbish or other matter, while men will throw their entire body weight out.
