Londoners crowned Britain’s best drivers

Londoners have won the accolade of Britain’s best drivers based on personalised driver data racked up from over 12 million kilometres driven.

Car insurer Cuvva used its mobile app feature, Smart Pricing, to calculate which of Britain’s regions produced the best motorists.

The firm analysed factors such as concentration, speed management, braking and cornering and turned these into a score to reflect overall driving ability.

According to the data, drivers in London performed the best with an average score of 83/100. In co-second place were the South East of England, East of England and the North West England, which each scored 82/100.

Bringing up the rear came drivers in Scotland with an average score of 80/100.

The Smart Pricing app takes into account driving insights backed by data collected from over 15,000 users, who have collectively taken over one million trips.

Cuvva said drivers on average scored well for concentration and keeping within speed limits, but that they performed less well when it came to braking. Cornering and accelerating were drivers’ weakest skills.
