New study reveals the noisiest drivers during lockdown
Hi Larry,
Noise from vehicles can be annoying, especially early in the morning or late at
night and many found the roads to be eerily quiet during the lockdown. Despite
this, many areas of the UK received over 100 vehicle-related noise complaints
last year, according to comparethemarket.com.
Their new study has revealed that beyond London, County Durham tops the list of
locations with the highest number of complaints. With 162 complaints in the past
year.

By collating the data from local councils, the study also revealed that outside
of the capital, six areas most of which are rural, still have more than 100
noise related complaints about vehicles in the area.
I have taken the liberty of illustrating the areas with the most noise
complaints in the UK along with some key points for you down below.
Have a read of the report and let me know your thoughtsI look forward to hearing
from youMany thanksSimeon
