As temperatures continue to soar this week, drivers have been urged to do five things before heading off during the hot weather. Temperatures could top more than 40C in the south of England, while heat alerts have been put in place across other parts of the country.
It's understandable that many people will want to make the most of the good weather, by visiting family and friends and tourist hotspots across the UK. According to National Highways, England's "motorways and major A roads are highly resilient to extremes of weather, including hot weather."
They added: "The design and build standards we apply to our roads are considered best practice and are adopted by other countries around the world." But the government-owned company, which operates, maintains and improves England's motorways and major A roads, says there are a number of ways drivers can deal with the heat and dazzling sunshine as they prepare to make their journeys.
