More than one in five drivers in the UK don\u2019t know how to open their car bonnet, a survey conducted by Kumho tyres has found.

\nAfter conducting a survey into car maintenance know-how in the UK, Humho found that nearly half of British road users wouldn\u2019t know where to start if they suffered a flat tyre.
\nA third of drivers say they would call for help from a road side assistance organisation, and one in six drivers in their 30s still rely on mum and dad to save the day.<\/p>\n
More alarmingly, the survey found that a third of car users rely on their annual MOT as a sign that their car is fit for use, despite the fact that an MOT inspection will not identify most mechanical faults or even guarantee that a vehicle is roadworthy for the life of the certificate.<\/p>\n
Despite Britain\u2019s proud motoring heritage and the popularity of driving shows like Top Gear, it appears a proportion of British car users lack even a basic knowledge of how their vehicle operates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
