It is 17 times more dangerous than East Dunbartonshire, which is the safest place with 28 collisions per 100,000.

Second-most dangerous is Rotherham, also South Yorkshire, where the smash rate is 371.

London is third on 261, ahead of Hull (250) and Stockton-on-Tees (247).

Only three of the safest ten areas — Staffs, Beds and Stoke-on-Trent — are not in Scotland.

One Sure Insurance analysed Home Office data for 168 areas in 2022.

It said: “It’s a legal requirement to insure your vehicle and identifying accident hot spots is very useful.

“By pinpointing them we can try to understand why drivers face challenges there.”
