DRIVERS are being warned over long delays on major routes as 17.6 million getaway trips by car are expected to take place in the UK over the August bank holiday period.

- By HERALD REPORTER

The RAC, which issued the alert, urged drivers to set off as early as possible or "be prepared to spend longer in traffic".

The South West and South East are expected to have some of the worst congestion. Some three million journeys for holidays or day trips are expected to be made on Friday by drivers looking to make the most of the last long weekend before Christmas in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the RAC said. This rises to 3.4 million on Saturday, 2.4 million on Sunday, and 2.7 million on Monday.

The RAC said that an additional 6.1 million drivers are planning a leisure trip at some point between Friday and Monday.
