But if this happens while you are driving, it poses a potential danger, with serious road accidents having been caused due to drivers being distracted by spiders or other bugs. Any erratic driving caused could land drivers with a fine of up to £2,500, according to experts at Scrap Car Comparison.Spiders can suddenly appear mid-journey, causing a distraction to whoever is behind the wheel.
