Motorists urged to be cautious
Motorists are being warned that today is the most dangerous day of the year on the country's roads.
A new report from Hibernian Insurance shows that more accidents were recorded in the past three years on December 20 than any other day of the year.
Last year there were 223 accidents on this day alone.
There is also a 40% increase in the numbers of insurance claims made in the week leading up to Christmas than any time of the year.
