Researchers at the money saving website carried out the survey as part of ongoing research into driving and car repair expenses.

Nick Swan, CEO of VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, said: “These results are really upsetting. It’s sad to see that so many animals are dying each year as a result of being hit by vehicles; however it is sometimes unavoidable. Britons really need to be more careful when driving to ensure that they are not responsible for the death of any animals.”

The team polled a total of 3,345 people aged 18 and over from around the UK for the purpose of the study. Participants were a balanced range of ages and from an equal spread of regions, in order to ensure unbiased results.
