M5, Easter weekend. No chance.
Best of luck, I'd start at 2am.
EDIT: Also this, New Street has been mentioning it for weeks so drivers will be prepared!
While lengthy delays on the railway network caused by engineering mean Devon's roads are set to be even busier than usual.

Eeshh start now. Even when it seems to be going well, you end up at an accident scene. Always the way!

Probably won't be that bad, and even if it is, can't do anything about it either way so no point worrying
Probably worth leaving a little earlier though, if you're that fussed

Fixed.
Reminds me of a mate who pays extortionate fees to "holiday camp" less than 5 miles from his house. Poor kids of his don't even know what a plane is or does, nor do they know that there are other countries to visit less than 20 miles away from the South Coast.....

Is it really? I thought it was abroad.

Slower than David Beckham filling out a tax return.

It's not exactly gonna be a scorcher easter weekend, so hopefully, the majority will stay at home home and keep their caravans firmly unhitched. That way you should be OK.
But no, it will be awful and you will soon believe Chris Rea had a point.

Probably very slow!
OP, if it makes you feel any better, I'm hitting the m6 at junction 20 (takes main traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and all of North Wales, tomorrow evening after work for 150 miles. Average speeds on a normal day are about 30-40mph, I expect tomorrow will be between 1-5mph.

Why do people put themselves through all the grief on bank holidays on the gridlocked roads, just stop at home and do some man jobs.
Because some of us have social lives. Some of us also don't own homes or cars so don't need to do man jobs. Some of us only get bank holidays to see friends and family. Some of us let our women do the man jobs.
I shall let you pick
