Survey finds 40% of us lie to children about length of car journeys

Two in five Irish parents lie to their children about how long car journeys will take.

While the new research by Enterprise Rent-A-Car's also found that almost 60% of children ask 'Are we nearly there yet?' within an hour of setting off.

4,500 parents were surveyed in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany and Spain, with 41% of respondents saying boredom is the number one cause of arguments on long car journeys.

But Irish parents topped the table when it came to the behaviour of their children - with 92% describing their kids as well behaved.

Only 12% of those with more than three children said their children were poorly behaved long trips.
