Wednesday worst for traffic woes

You may have worked this out already - Wednesday is the worst day for traffic jams, official figures claim.



UK drivers spend more time in traffic compared with drivers in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Holland.

The index from traffic information company INRIX revealed that Wednesday was worst overall for congestion - although Monday is the worst for morning congestion.

The worst commuting hour for drivers is 8am to 9am on Mondays, with Friday having the worst evening traffic.

Drivers in Manchester are hit hardest - spending an average of 72 hours a year stuck in traffic.
