Nextbase survey reveals that one in seven UK drivers would commit hit and run
52% of drivers said, "Yes, no matter what", while 34% said "Yes – but only if I had time and paper on hand", while 14% said "no".
Motorists in Scotland and the South West are the most likely to leave a note – with 62% saying they would do so no matter what, compared to just 39% of London drivers, who were the least likely in the country.
The research has also revealed the potential impact that having a dinged-up car has on people's perception of you - let alone your no-claims bonus.
15% of motorists said that seeing someone's dented car would indicate that "they can't be trusted". Four fifths (39%) said it would indicate that they were careless and a third (34%) said it would indicate they were struggling financially.
Far worse can happen to parked cars: Home Office data revealed that just 4.98% of car thefts last year resulted in anyone being charged.
You can never be too cautious about your car when you leave it parked. Scratches, bangs, dents caused by other drivers, careless trolley users, vandals and thieves is what you are up against in safeguarding the look and value of one of your most expensive possessions. This is why Nextbase dash cams are so great – they offer protection 24/7, with the ability to monitor your car wherever you are in the world."
Data came from a September survey of 2,000 UK vehicle owners by Research Without Barriers, and a Home Office FOI.
