The finance you need The car you want

Nearly all motorists in the UK are consumed with misery over the current state of driving in the country, new research has found.

A study by Barclays found that 98 per cent of Car Finance customers are annoyed at being a motorist in the UK, with high fuel prices and traffic congestion at the top of their list of complaints.

Parking restrictions, road works and motoring fines - which have an affect on future Car Credit deals - all annoy British drivers. The poor quality of roads in the UK, which, in some cases, could result in drivers starting a Used Car Search, also make motorists moan.

Gary Duggan, managing director for Barclays, said: "With petrol and diesel above £1 in most places, it is perhaps surprising that three quarters of motorists can find some other aspect of driving that drives them madder than fuel prices. However, Londoners are obviously the least happy, finding five other things that irritate them more."

Research from Bupa has found that the stresses of modern life, including motoring worries, are making many Britons ill.
