Telford has lost its crown as the UK's most car-friendly town, it was revealed today.
The town, which had been in the top spot for the last two years, was pipped by St Helens in Merseyside and named the second most car-friendly town.
London was the worst spot for motorists, according to the research.
St Helens scored well on such things as petrol prices, parking costs and the number of speed cameras in an assessment carried out by Virgin Money Car Insurance.
London's 600 speed cameras contributed to its bottom place, a spot the city has occupied for the last three years.
A total of 65 of the UK's largest towns and cities were assessed, with the car parks and car crime examined.
Grant Bather, of Virgin Money, said: "Many local authorities do their best to ensure drivers aren't treated like second-class citizens. Cars shouldn't rule the road but motorists' views need to be taken into consideration."
