Sophie Patel

Sophie Patel covers the human side of motoring, exploring how driving influences everyday life, popular culture, and the way people interact on the road. Her articles cover everything from road rage and unusual driving habits to road trips, pet safety, social trends, and the stories that get motorists talking.

Holding a BA (Hons) in Media and Popular Culture, Sophie brings an understanding of human behaviour, media, and social attitudes to her automotive writing. She explores the cultural and social issues surrounding motoring, examining how changing lifestyles, public opinion, and everyday experiences influence our relationship with cars.

With a curious and engaging approach, Sophie's writing combines practical advice with thought-provoking human-interest stories, helping readers see motoring as more than simply getting from one place to another.
