CAR commuters will get to work 12 minutes quicker on average this week, as they will not have to compete with the school run.
For Londoners driving to work, the journey should be almost 16 minutes faster, a survey by car insurance company elephant.co.uk found.
Around 10% of motorists expect to save between 30 minutes and an hour a day during school holidays.
After Londoners, the drivers gaining the most by half-term and full school holidays are those in Northern Ireland, who save an average of 13 minutes and 30 seconds each morning.
In the North West, drivers will have 10 minutes and 40 seconds shaved off their daily commute to work.
But the schools being shut will have the least effect on south west England drivers, who have just nine minutes 28 seconds shaved off their morning commutes.
The survey was based on responses from 3,000 motorists.
