More than 14 million leisure journeys are expected to be made by car this Easter weekend as the bank holiday coincides with most UK schools breaking up, according to a study by the RAC and INRIX.

Data suggests that Good Friday could see some of the worst delays for drivers, with an estimated 2.6 million getaway trips by car planned for that day alone. This is 600,000 more than the 2 million journeys planned for both Thursday 28 March – the day many schools break up – and Easter Monday. Additionally, an estimated 3.3 million more trips are expected to be staggered over the long weekend by drivers who are undecided on their travel dates.
