A new study has named Stoke-on-Trent as the city with the best driving conditions in the UK. 

Conducted by Northgate Vehicle Hire, the study explored driving conditions across the country's 25 biggest cities. 

The index considered the frequency of collisions, average travel time and the number of speed cameras, bus and cycle routes. 

Stoke-on-Trent had the highest possible score of 10 on the index and findings showed that it is one of the least congested and safest cities to drive in. 

The index considered the frequency of collisions, average travel time and the number of speed cameras, bus and cycle routes (Northgate Vehicle Hire).

With the third fastest travel time of just twelve minutes per 10km, and being amongst the cities with the lowest number of bus routes (19 per 10 mi2) and cycle routes ( 13 per 10 mi2), Stoke-on-Trent provides a much less congested driving experience when compared to the majority of the UK. 

All results were standardised according to the square mile radius (mi2) of each city, to ensure that the outcomes accurately mirror the specific driving conditions and dynamics of each location.

Nottingham was found to be the UK city with the worst driving conditions, scoring just 3.2 on the index. With a staggering 58 collisions per 10 mi2 each year, the highest across the board, this East Midlands city is arguably the most dangerous place in the UK to drive through.
