The average Brit breaks the law around 21 times a year, it has emerged.
Speeding, eating or drinking while driving and not wearing a seat belt are the most common crimes we commit during our day-to-day lives.
Other car crimes which take place regularly include jumping red lights, parking on double yellow lines and driving someone else's motor without the proper insurance cover.
Common crimes: Speeding is one of the main offences committed by the public on a daily basis

Downloading music illegally, texting or chatting while driving, and cycling without lights on are also offences we regularly commit.
John Miles, business development director for Gocompare.com, which conducted the poll of 3,000 adults, said: "Brits are becoming so used to breaking the law on a daily basis that they aren't even fazed by their actions.
"A huge number of people choose to regularly break the speed limit, which means British roads are filled with inconsiderate and dangerous drivers.
"And those people who insist on doing things other than actually driving the car - such as eating, drinking or using the mobile phone - are putting their own lives in danger as well as the lives of others."
