Steve Gooding, director at the motoring research group, said the increasing size of cars means most domestic garages are no longer fit for purpose, having found that the average garage door width is just 2.1m. However, it's not all bad new for motorists who can't fit their motors into their garages at home. Drivers parking a motor in a locked garage overnight on average pay £673.50 for annual cover. 'Among other things, drivers pranging their cars when parking in their own garages have put paid to that guaranteed discount.' The RAC Foundation's report comes just weeks after a poll of motorists found that fifty-three per cent with garages at their properties never park their cars in them.
