One in ten UK citizens are lying on their car insurance applications and one quarter have driven illegally at some point to keep costs down, according to RAC Financial Services. A further 11% admitted to lying about where they kept their car. Pretending it is kept overnight in a locked garage is the most common lie. Other untruths include deliberately under-estimating the value of the car (6%), power and performance of the car (3%) and giving the wrong main address to attract a lower premium
