DORSET is one of the safest places to travel by road in the country, according to research.
The area with postcodes beginning with DT is the eighth least likely place in the country to make a claim through their car insurance, according to the research by ClassicLine Insurance.
The figures also revealed that postcodes nearer the coast have fewer road accidents.
The place with the least claim frequency was Dundee, followed by Llandudno, Truro and Kilmarnock. Major cities topped the postcodes most likely to claim for damage, with four of the top five being parts of London. Liverpool also made the top five.
Ian Fray, managing director at ClassicLine Insurance, said: “Our snapshot of UK motoring indicates that drivers in Dundee are the safest behind the wheel, whereas Londoners are most likely to be in a motoring prang.
“It also highlights that there must be something in the sea air which makes drivers more chilled out. Perhaps living near the coast makes people more relaxed and also more laid back in their driving habits.”
