  19. AA: Call-outs up 40% on Sundaypublished at 23:23 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2017

    The AA has dealt with more than 14,000 breakdowns in just one day, with hundreds of drivers stuck in snow or ice.

    Edmund King, president of the AA, said call-outs were up by 40%, with the snowfall in the South East and London catching out thousands of motorists.

    "I witnessed numerous crashes on the M1 just north of London," he said. "Drivers struggled even on slight inclines due to the icy conditions."

    Mr King advised people to adjust to the conditions by slowing down and keeping a good distance.

    He also called for more action, adding: "We need to see the gritters and snow ploughs out there as in some areas the response did appear to be slow.”
