According to new research from webuyanycar.com, over the coming festive week, the majority (70 per cent) of Britons are expecting to spend 11 hours – one and a half working days – in the car.
The study found that visiting blended and extended families are behind this annual Yuletide exodus, with the average Brit set to celebrate Christmas THREE times, in three different locations, this December.
Nevertheless, we wouldn’t have it any other way, with over 90 per cent of us saying seeing family is vital at this time of year.
This means we’ll be travelling, on average, 311 miles there and back, just under the distance of London to Edinburgh, to see them. Added together as a nation we’ll be travelling over 5.9bn miles in cars this Christmas.
