Belfast named the safest place for car drivers

Women insurance buyers from Slough beware, as the Berkshire town has been named the place in Britain that you are most likely to be involved in a car accident, according to insurance firm Endsleigh.

According to car claim data, Slough boasts the highest frequency of car insurance claims in the country – 49% above the national average, while Belfast would appear to be the safest place to drive with 44% below the national average claim rate.

Behind Slough came Ilford and Birmingham with claims 44% and 33% above the national average respectively. And proving safer than most towns Swansea and Aberdeen showed 27% and almost 23% below the national average for car accident insurance claims.

Rhiannon Harris, spokeswoman for Endsleigh, said, "Drivers need to be even more vigilant leading up to Christmas when there are usually a greater number of vehicles on the roads and when weather conditions can be extremely hazardous.

"Our report highlights that some towns and cities represent a greater risk for motorists than others. However, it is important that motorists throughout the country are extra vigilant at this time of year."

A CoverGirl spokesperson commented, "Women insurance buyers hold the key to their own car accident prevention by remaining focused on road awareness at all times wherever they may be driving."
