"As much of Britain returns to work after Christmas, this could be the
worst day of the year for car breakdowns, the RAC says.
It estimates that lack of use over the festive period and wintry

work day.
For the last five years, there has been at least a 50%% rise in
callouts on the first day back after New Year, it says..."

The article was prediction, not a report on fact.
