A sleepy English town of around 5,300 people, known for its spas and exotic landscapes, has emerged as the UK’s new drink and drug driving capital after recording more than double convictions than liverpool or london, according to a new research. With the highest proportion of offences for drink and drug-driving, 1.98 offences per 1,000 drivers, the tiny town of llandrindod Wells, known as small spa haven, knocked off Aberdeen from the top spot.
The survey, conducted by MoneySuperMarket, found that half of the top 20 areas for the least amount of convictions are on the periphery of london, perhaps an indication of the city’s world class public transport system.
