Roughly 21 million leisure journeys are expected this weekend alone - and that's a fortnight before the Bank Holiday weekend.

As schools break up for the holidays, the great Easter getaway begins in earnest from today.

And motorists are being urged to ensure their cars are 'road ready' to avoid unnecessary breakdowns.

Roughly 21 million leisure journeys are expected this weekend alone – and that's a fortnight before the Bank Holiday weekend.

Research by the RAC, which runs its own Mobile Mechanics fleet to carry out driveway services, repairs and checks, shows a quarter of drivers have suffered a vehicle breakdown while on holiday.

Is your car 'road ready'?: Research by the RAC shows a quarter of drivers have suffered a vehicle breakdown while on holiday

Alice Simpson of the RAC said: 'Vehicle breakdown has no place on a holiday itinerary, so the more you can do to ensure your car is in the best condition before you go, the lower your chances of suffering one.

'With Easter weekend approaching, we're advising drivers to use their time now wisely.'
