Breakdowns on England's A-roads rose 18% since 2019, totaling 36,625 incidents in 2023. This increase comes despite a 3% drop in road usage, hinting at financial struggles prompting drivers to overlook vehicle upkeep.

Critical routes like the A1M, A282, and A14 have been flagged as high-risk. For those lacking breakdown cover, towing costs start at £192. Experts emphasize the necessity of regular maintenance, especially with winter looming, urging drivers to ready themselves for the harsher road conditions ahead.
