UK motorists were warned not to drive during World Cup games

Lancashire football fans are being asked to take care on the roads during the World Cup season.

If you are going somewhere to watch the match, set off early and leave plenty of time to allow for delays, to avoid becoming irritated and distracted if you find yourself missing kick-off.

Research by the University of Leicester shows that the pace of the game and number of goals scored affects driver behaviour and concentration levels.

15 per cent of fans admit to taking their hands off the wheel when their team scores.
