Listen: sun hungry brits are heading for a summer breakdown

It’s been a record breaking – hot July and with the Met Office releasing its first ever extreme weather warning to parts of the UK this month and more of us taking to the road for staycations due to COVID, sun hungry Brits could be heading for a breakdown…

New research by Green Flag has revealed over half (52 per cent) of UK drivers are set to use a car as part of their holiday travels, with nearly two thirds (61 per cent) planning on using their own car as opposed to hitching a lift with others.

Unprepared drivers can face a wide range of problems when driving in warmer weather, from increased stress levels to extra demands on vehicles due to the heat.

Aston spoke to Steve Johnson from Green Flag.
