RAC issues driving advice as Storm Jake sweeps in

RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: “The seesaw weather conditions that have characterised this winter – mild, wet and windy one day, cold and dry the next – look set to continue this week with the arrival of the tenth named storm. With the threat of some wintry showers, especially in the north of the UK, motorists will once again need to take extra care. Our advice is to drive more slowly, check local weather and travel reports regularly, and expect the commute tomorrow morning to take a little longer than usual.”

RAC reacts to falling fuel prices
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: "Fuel prices continue to fall on the back of oil being under $100 for the last nine trading days. The average price of petrol has dropped nearly 2p a litre (1.6p) to 157.93p since peaking on 28 May at 159.53p. The diesel story is even better with the average price reducing by 11p (10.62p) to 180.92p since 15 April (191.54p), its lowest since the end of March but still 39p higher than when the war started.
