Half of older drivers will cut car use due to cost-of-living crisis

The cost-of-living crisis is forcing half of older drivers to make fewer journeys, according to a survey by disability motoring website MotaClarity. The poll of more than 1,000 drivers aged 50 and over found that 54 per cent were considering placing self-imposed limits on their driving in order to save cash in the face of mounting household expenses. With miles driven going down – in this particular demographic at least – should the data be proved to reflect reality, tyre consumption will also drop.
