Motorists are becoming increasingly concerned about what Brexit will mean for them.

Following the landmark decision on June 23rd for Britain to leave the EU, concerns over what this means for motoring have increased, with eight out of ten UK drivers admitting to being worried.

A new AA-Populus poll of almost 20,000 motorists has revealed that the cost of fuel (63 per cent) is the biggest concern following the Brexit vote.

Over 57 per cent of respondents also admitted that they were also worried about the increase in insurance prices, more expensive medical costs (55 per cent) and poor exchange rates (56 per cent).

The results of the survey can be split into two separate categories: more trouble to travel overseas and higher costs.

Edmund King, president of the AA, said: "We trust that our Brexit negotiators will be working hard to ensure that UK drivers can still enjoy safe and relatively hassle-free driving across Europe in the future.

"However, last weekend's channel crossing chaos shows that procedures already need to be improved even before any official Brexit."

Drivers in Northern Ireland were the most worried about what stricter border controls might mean, as this could cause issues for those who regularly cross the EU border with the Republic.

Those who were the most worried across both of the category results were younger drivers, with those aged between 18 and 24 concerned about all the effects that Brexit could have on motoring.

Other issues that were raised by survey respondents included what will happen when drivers break down when visiting an EU country and the possibility of having to change existing passports and driving licenses. People also raised concerns relating to the increased prices of cars and what duty-free limits will mean for them.

However, it is not yet clear how Brexit will affect motorists across the UK, so some of these concerns may prove unfounded in the long-run.
