RAC advice to motorists travelling to this weekend's Glastonbury Festival
RAC head of external affairs Pete Williams said: “Music lovers attending the Glastonbury Festival this weekend will go knowing there is some rain forecast – but aside from packing your wellies and an extra poncho, those driving need to go prepared too. Long queues on the roads into and out of the site are the norm, and it’s easy for cars to overheat. We recommend you top-up your coolant, windscreen washer fluid and oil before setting off, and remember to switch your engine off if you are stuck idling in those tailbacks.
“The RAC has a dedicated team of patrols at Glastonbury this year, as it has done for many years. They will be on hand to assist festivalgoers and even the big name acts if they run into trouble around the clock with everything from lost keys, flat batteries, punctures and even lost vehicles – not forgetting helping drivers get out of the thick Somerset mud if the weather takes a turn for the worse.”
