Motorists who have not been behind the wheel of their car since the UK was put into lockdown could suffer a false start when they next drive, a breakdown rescue provider has warned.

Department for Transport figures show that road traffic has fallen by around two-thirds in the past three weeks, indicating that many cars are no longer being used regularly, Birmingham Live reports.
