With the country in the midst of a cost of living crisis, fuel prices continue to rise.
The prices, which have risen to record levels, have resulted in a significant number of drivers taking to the roads less frequently. More than two fifths of motorists are driving less or making shorter journeys since fuel prices began to soar in March, a survey suggests.
Some 43% of the UK public are cutting back on driving, potentially leaving certain demographics isolated and inconvenienced as a result, a poll by Opinium found. Some 35% of those in rural areas have been driving less owing to fuel costs – potentially leaving people isolated – compared with 31% of those in suburban areas and 23% of those in urban areas.
