East of England is walking on broken glass
Motorists living in East Anglia and the South of England are most likely to experience windscreen damage, according to the latest data from Churchill Car Insurance revealing the UK's windscreen claim hotspots.These regions are most at risk of windscreen damage due to the large amount of arable farming in fields close to busy driving routes. The heavy machinery required to farm the land in these areas creates debris on the roads which can lead to cracked windscreens, sun roofs or side mirrors.
Claire Foster, spokesperson for Churchill Insurance, commented: "It is important to get windscreens fixed as soon as they are damaged, even when it is the smallest crack. If drivers fail to fix the damage, this could impair people's vision whilst driving. Many people do not realise that windscreen claims will not affect their no claims discount under most insurance policies, so there is no sense in delaying the inevitable."
