The RAC has issued advice to motorists

Drivers have been warned to avoid getting into their cars until after 6pm on Friday, ahead of the Bank Holiday getaway.

RAC breakdown spokesperson, Alice Simpson said: "Our research suggests this weekend could be the busiest of the year so far on the roads. In fact, we're looking at possible leisure traffic volumes returning to levels similar to what we last saw in 2019 before the coronavirus outbreak, as drivers' desire to make the most of the UK increases."

Tomorrow is predicted to be the most congested day of the long weekend with more than four million planned journeys. Saturday, May 25, is expected to see 3.7 million trips, while Sunday and the actual bank holiday, Monday are each forecasted for 3.4 million journeys, reports Birmingham Live. "However, if you are thinking of exploring the wild side, it's best you know where you stand. The majority of land in England and Wales is privately owned and therefore you are not allowed to camp there unless you have permission from the owner. Most car parks are privately owned and will state whether overnight camping is allowed, but often when it is, it's only for one night.
