Thanks to higher fuel prices driven by Middle East tensions, the cost of filling up the car isn’t cheap. But that’s not stopping Brits! A survey shows many drivers are ploughing on with their plans, eager to escape the daily grind.

**Top Traffic Tips:**
– Start trips before 10am to dodge the worst jams.
– Brace for busy roads on Good Friday, particularly between 10am and 7pm.
– Peak travel on Saturday is expected from 10am to midday.

**Congestion Hotspots:**
– M4 westbound from Severn Crossing to Bridgend 🚦
– M25 around Junction 15 to 19 ⚠️
– M5 southbound between Junction 15 and 23 🛑

Planning a coastal getaway or some city shopping? Those routes will likely be chock-a-block. As the weekend wraps up, expect afternoon delays on Easter Monday, especially on the M5 northbound.

**Safety First!** Before heading out, double-check your vehicle—fuel, lights, tyres, oils—make sure everything’s in tip-top shape. Let’s stay safe and make the most of the long weekend!
