August Bank Holiday: Experts name busiest day on UK roads

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe RAC predicts a record 20 million leisure car trips will be made over the bank holiday weekend, marking the highest total since tracking began in 2015. Friday is set to be the busiest day on the roads with 4.1 million getaway journeys, with motorists advised to set off before 10am to avoid heavy congestion.
