Dundee voted most 'car friendly' town
Dundee is apparently the UK's most car-friendly town, according to a report from a car insurance provider.
Virgin Money Car Insurance gave ratings to the UK's largest 50 towns based on factors such as the cost of parking, the number of speed cameras on surrounding roads and the level of car crime 'C a major aspect of motor insurance premiums.
Following Dundee in the car-friendly stakes were Blackpool, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Southend. Least car-friendly was deemed to be Cardiff, followed by Nottingham, Birmingham, London and Reading.
Virgin Money Car Insurance's Jason Wyer-Smith commented: "Driving can be frustrating and expensive whether it is a case of struggling to find a car park or struggling to pay for the car park with the cost of petrol, speed camera fines and the threat of vehicle crime thrown in."
"There are bound to be drivers in Dundee who cannot believe their city is car-friendly just as there will be people in Cardiff who love driving there," he added.
East Midlands city Nottingham was found to be the worst city for vehicle crime, although last month Tesco Personal finance found that the highest car insurance premiums are in the north west and London.
