Brits to travel an average of 27 miles this Easter

April 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Traditionally one of the busiest times on UK roads, drivers should ensure that they prepare adequately for a long car journey to reduce the chance of a breakdown. Tesco Breakdown has provided a check list for drivers preparing for an Easter journey:

•   Check your oil, water, brake and radiator fluid levels.
•   Check your tyre pressure.
•   Take spare water, engine oil, a first aid kit, torch and spare torch batteries with you.
•   Make sure you have all the tools you need to change a tyre.
•   Ensure that your lights are working properly.


Notes for editors:
The survey was conducted by OnePoll for Tesco Breakdown. Total sample size was 2,000 UK drivers. Fieldwork was undertaken between 3rd – 5th March 2009.
