A high number of people in the UK are altering their attitudes towards motoring as a direct result of increasing driving costs, new research has suggested.
Carried out by moneysupermarket.com, the study revealed 67 per cent of those quizzed have changed their perception on the matter because insurance prices are on the up and fuel expenses have reached record highs.
For people already experiencing deep financial troubles who find the added costs are exacerbating their situation, asking individual voluntary arrangement questions may be one way for them to improve their lot.
Pete Harrison, car insurance expert at the price comparison website, said: "With escalating fuel prices hitting motorists hard in the pocket, I'm not surprised most are looking for ways to drive down the cost of getting behind the wheel."
Other research recently carried out by the site showed many UK drivers are reducing the amount of miles they travel by car as a consequence of the price hikes.
