Reasons behind the driver shortage in the UK 2021

Published by Statista Research Department, May 11, 2023
According to a survey, among the main reasons behind the driver shortage in the United Kingdom (UK) is the Brexit referendum, which led EU drivers to return to their country of origin. Another reason is that drivers are reaching retiring age, with the average age of heavy goods vehicle drivers in the UK between 50 and 64.

What do you believe to be the reason behind the driver shortage?
