A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is in operation in Tiverton. It was introduced in 2008 and covers most of Greater London, including some sections of the M1 and M4 but excluding the M25. The purpose of the LEZ is to discourage the most polluting diesel vehicles from driving in London. Unlike the ULEZ, which doesn't operate on Christmas Day, this zone is enforced all year round. How much you pay depends on your vehicle - it can be between £100-300. Find out more in this guide.

Tiverton is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Tiverton, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.

If you have breakdown cover and your car fails, all you have to do is call the number of your cover provider and give them information about your policy and location. They will attempt to repair the vehicle at the roadside; failing that, they will tow your car to a garage.

Even if you don't have breakdown cover, you can still call a breakdown recovery provider, though this is likely to cost more since you don't have an existing policy.

Instead of trying to purchase regular breakdown cover after you have broken down, make sure you contact your chosen breakdown provider using the non-customer helpline. Read this guide for more information about what to do when your car breaks down.

Alternatively, a local garage will often offer the cheapest breakdown recovery call-out fee. Choosing the right roadside recovery option is essential, especially if your car has broken down somewhere dangerous, such as on the motorway. In this case, you should phone an emergency recovery service. Our tips for avoiding a breakdown may help you avoid this situation in the future.
