00:00As we near Christmas the roads will get incredibly busy. We're expecting this
00:06weekend to be particularly busy and we're calling Saturday Snarl Up Saturday
00:12because of course a lot of people will have finished work. There's a good chance
00:15by taking just a couple of days off to get quite a long period away from work.
00:20So Saturday is the start of the big frantic weekend getaway. Of course roads
00:28will be busy on Friday and we obviously urge people to try to drive when others
00:32aren't driving. Typically that will be kind of in the evening or very early in
00:36the morning. If you want to avoid sitting in long jams that's probably the best
00:40thing to do. Get up and the early bird does catch the worm in terms of Christmas
00:45getaway journeys.
