The five most dangerous areas for learner drivers in the UK have been named - and they are Colchester, Guildford, Preston, Plymouth and Canterbury.
The Bill Plant Driving School conducted research to discover the areas in which a learner driver would be most at risk of experiencing a road traffic collision during a driving lesson.
The school worked this out by comparing the number of provisional licence holders in each city to the number of reported road collisions involving drivers with a provisional licence.
The areas that came out as most high risk were Colchester, Guildford, Preston, Plymouth and Canterbury, in that order.
Colchester and Guildford were found to be the only regions to have more than 20.00 road collisions per 10,000 people with provisional licences. Guildford has the highest number of reported road collisions involving drivers with a provisional licence, at 164.
Guildford, Colchester, Preston, Plymouth, and Birmingham are the only areas to have more than 80 reported road collisions involving drivers with a provisional licence.
Peterborough and Darlington were discovered to be the least dangerous areas for learner drivers with both regions having less than 1.0 provisional licence holders involved in road collisions per 10,000.
The Department for Transport recorded there were a total of 115,584 road traffic collisions in Great Britain in 2020, despite lockdowns.
