A survey has found that 90 per cent of British motorists can't recognise some of the symbols on their dashboard.

The research by Accident Advice Helpline found that out of the 2,000 people surveyed, 27 per cent couldn't identify the 'check engine' symbol and 29 per cent couldn't distinguish the 'headlamp indicator'.
