Motorists are being warned that they could face long delays, tailbacks and traffic jams on December 22, which is being dubbed 'Frantic Friday' by the RAC.

Although research by RAC Traffic Watch reveals pre-Christmas leisure traffic will peak on Christmas Eve, when 1.87m separate getaway car journeys will be taken, its experts claim that Friday 22 December is likely to be the most congested on the roads, as typical commuter traffic mixes with an expected 1.25m leisure trips.
