The UK's love affair with the motor car may be coming to an end, it has been claimed.

Reuters has reported that drivers group the Association of British Motorists has stated that owning a car today simply is not as much fun.

This may be an opinion that can be related to by those paying parking tickets and fines, road tax and expensive car insurance premiums.

Spokesman for the organisation Paul Biggs claimed that motorists "are getting it in the neck".

"We are a mobile wallet … a big source of revenue," he said.

Mr Biggs added that motorists and other travellers were simply not being accommodated.

"We've got a growing population and we are not expanding the roads or public transport to cope with it."

Earlier this year, 1.8 million disgruntled motorists put their name to a 10 Downing Street website petition against road pricing.
