Modern cars are leaving UK motorists confused
Over a third of UK drivers (37%) admit that they can't understand the lights or warnings on their car's dashboard.
LV= has found that the ever increasing complexity of cars has meant that three quarters (74 per cent) of drivers would be unable to repair their car in the evnt of a breakdown.
Emma Holyer, spokesperson for Britannia Rescue, said: "There is little doubt that innovation has made driving a far more pleasurable experience, but it has made part time weekend mechanics a thing of the past. With many cars relying on complex electronics or technology, many problems now require specialist equipment, as well as specialist knowledge, to get the problem fixed.
"This means it is even more vital that motorists take out breakdown cover, so if something does go wrong with their car they are able to get back on the road as easily and quickly as possible."
Perhaps not surprisingly, 71 per cent of men say their knowledge of cars is average or above, despite them admitting they aren't capable of fixing their car in the event of a breakdown.
