A company has conducted research and released information on where has the most dangerous drivers in the UK.
Quotezone revealed that parts of East Cumbria had drivers who ranked with the lowest driver safety score.
Carlisle and Eden both fell into this category along with South Lakeland. Allerdale and Copeland also ranked with relatively low scores.
A spokesperson from Quotezone said: "Significant changes to The Highway Code were introduced recently, compelling UK drivers to reconsider how careful they are behind the wheel. But, while individuals can take their own steps to ensure they drive safely, it takes careful driving from everybody in the area to guarantee safety.
"With that in mind, the car insurance experts at Quotezone.co.uk sought to discover which UK regions are home to the safest drivers – and which areas have the worst road accident rates. By collecting and analysing car accident statistics from across the UK, a ‘safe driver index score’ was created, ranking regions out of 100 and determining which UK region has the safest drivers."
East Cumbria got a score of 29.500 ranking as the ninth worst place for dangerous drivers. Copeland and Allerdale scored slightly higher with a score of 35.52 equally. With the lowest score going to Blackburn and Darwen with a score of 16.775.
In comparison, Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan scored the highest with 86. 125 and Swansea scoring just lower at 80.275.
QuoteZone said that their methodology for the study was creating an index based on population, number of licensed vehicles, number of road accidents and number of road casualites to calculate the UK region with the safest drivers.
They also provided some safer driving tips to keep road users safe. Some of the information included points like not using your mobile phone while driving and looking twice before you turn right among other key rules.
