Lost Luggage

A lot of us choose to holiday in the UK, preferring the ease of not having to organise our family onto flights and find passports from the deep depths of the family drawer'. It's much easier to pack the roof rack, jam everything in the boot, load the kids and the dog in and hit the road.

But what you put in your roof box will impact on the miles per gallon that you achieve from your car, as the car is less streamlined and struggles aerodynamically.

But the highways agency have also raised the point that people pack a lot of stuff that they don't need for these trips, judging by the weird and wonderful things that they pick up from the side of the road thanks to unsecured roof boxes.

Derek Turner, Network Operations Director at the Highways Agency, said: "The risk of lost luggage can easily be avoided with a few simple checks. What seems secure when you leave home can easily work loose on motorways at high speeds. Our advice to drivers is to stop in a safe place and check your luggage before you join the motorway in case items have worked loose. Many people don't even realise they have lost something until they reach their destination.

The Institute of Advanced Motorists have recommended packing carefully, as many people don't realise they have lost luggage until they reach their destination. They recommend that if you see luggage falling, you should notify the authorities and not stop to pick it up as this will cause further hazard to other road users.
