The AA has forecast that traffic for all journey purposes in the run-up to December 25 will peak on Friday when about 24.4 million cars are expected on the UK's roads.
Meanwhile, a total of 37.5 million leisure trips by car are planned between Wednesday and Christmas Eve, the RAC has estimated. That is the most in the week before Christmas Day since the company began recording the data in 2013.
