Check car bulbs before getting stuck in queues this Easter
Posted by Fiona Birkwood
Motorists should make sure their car bulbs are working over the Easter holidays as, according to Trafficmaster, the roads are set to be chock-a-block and they could be left driving home in the dark.
Trafficmaster has predicted that Easter 2010 will be an exceptionally busy time on Britains roads, as families rush in their hoards to take advantage of the first major holiday break of the year.
"After a gloomy winter, both in terms of weather and the economy, we are expecting to see one of the busiest Easter breaks for several years," says Georgina Read at Trafficmaster.
She went on to say that the busiest day across the Easter holiday period is likely to be Maundy Thursday (April 1st).
Trafficmaster anticipates that nearly 20 million vehicles will be on the move over Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Saturday April 3rd.
Last month, GEM Motoring Assist advised couples planning a romantic getaway over the Valentines weekend to check their car lights were all functioning before heading out on the roads.
