With the final bank holiday of the year this weekend, it is likely we’ll see more people travelling on the road for UK getaways and last-minute trips. Richard Evans, head of technical services at webuyanycar comments:
“Bank holidays go hand-in-hand with traffic jams on the road as people take trips across the country and make the most of the last long weekend of the year. Our research found that almost three quarters (72%) of drivers will be travelling to see friends, family or to go on a staycation over the summer.
“With so many people often having plans to travel over the bank holiday, it’s always good to prepare ahead of the journey to make travelling easier. Avoiding peak times by setting off earlier or in the evenings can help drivers to avoid the worst of the traffic. By planning ahead of the trip, it can ensure drivers choose less congested routes and reduce fuel consumption. And, using the Sat Nav will help drivers stay aware of any delays, diversions and get the latest traffic updates.
“The most important thing when getting around over the bank holiday weekend is that drivers and their vehicles are prepared for their journey. Our guide on the quietest times to drive gives drivers tips and advice on getting around safely during busier periods on the road.”
