But a survey of 2,000 motorists revealed that over the past 28 days the average driver has covered just 90 miles – with 30 per cent driving 25 miles or fewer. With so little driving, 18 per cent have struggled to get back to normal behind the wheel of a car. Of those who have found it difficult to adjust to being back on the road, 28 per cent had stalled their car, 21 per cent had scraped their wheels on the kerb and more than one in five have forgotten to indicate. The study showed that many Brits hadn’t even visited a petrol station during lockdown (Credit: Getty) Four in 10 motorists said they hadn’t visited a filling station over the past 28 days, with 12 per cent admitting that they had forgotten which side or end they fill up or charge t...

Image
While the govenment first announced that the UK was going in to full lockdown on 23rd March, restrictions have been slowly easing in the past few weeks. However, it appears that the path out of lockdown won’t be straightforward, with the news that Leicester has been placed in to a local lockdown , as a result of a rise in coronavirus cases in the area over the last few weeks. The area has had 2,987 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic in March – but 866 of these cases are believed to have occurred in the past two weeks alone. As a result, schools and non-essential shops are closing in Leicester this week, and pubs and restaurants will not reopen there on 4th July, as in the rest of the UK.
