British Gen Z’s lack of caution makes them more likely to have their car stolen.

May 21 2025

British Gen Z’s lack of caution makes them more likely to have their car stolen. In the U.K., Gen Z drivers 17-24-years-old are 36 times more likely to have their cars stolen compared to those over 55-years-old, largely due to a lack of security precautions. New Birmingham Mail data reveals that only 42% of younger drivers consistently lock their vehicles and avoid leaving valuables inside, while just 27% have car alarms or immobilizers. Additionally, nearly one in 10 admit to taking no protective measures at all. In contrast, older generations (over 55-years-old) are far more vigilant, with 74% always securing their vehicles and 44% installing additional safety features. (Birmingham Mail)
