Confused.com has covered the most dangerous street in Britain in bubble wrap. TheĀ  website identified Somerville Road in Worcester as having the highest numbers of car insurance claims

in the UK in the last five years.

Everything from the trees, pavements, vehicles, lampposts, even to the garden gnomes have been covered, to create the ultimate safety blanket for motorists. Some insurers have seen a 41% increase in claims following recent weather conditions, so to highlight the extra care needed on the roads, the popular price comparison website have cushioned the blow for the residents in Somerville Road by bubble wrapping the hazardous contents of the street.


Will Thomas, Confused.com's Head of Car Insurance Quotes explains: "We work with dozens of insurance providers, and we've picked up on the fact that claims activity has shot up recently due to the bad weather. I've spoken to some who have seen as much as a 41% increase in claims compared with a normal non-snowy period. In fact, one saw 1300 registered on the heaviest snow day of January 13th - double that of the same day last year. We thought we'd highlight the need to take care out there and make sure you're fully covered on the roads with the best motor policy in our own, fun way. It would have been great fun to do this for every street in the UK, but sadly we ran out of bubble wrap!"
