Top Gear controversies

The British motoring-themed television programme Top Gear was often the focus of criticism. The criticism has ranged from minor viewer complaints to serious complaints where broadcasting watchdogs such as Ofcom have been involved.

Critics claim the programme shows disdain for the environment and promotes dangerous driving, whereas the BBC and show's presenters claim that "Top Gear takes issues of safety very seriously and none of our presenters advocate or encourage speeding or dangerous driving."
