Don’t fall victim to Flat Battery Monday ahead of return to work

Irish motorists are being advised to plan ahead and avoid unnecessary car trouble on the first day back at work after the Christmas break.

Monday, January 4, is being dubbed ‘Flat Battery Monday,’ as roadside-assistance provider Allianz Global Assistance Ireland anticipates calls from motorists due to car breakdowns to increase by a fifth.

Drivers who haven’t used their cars over the break typically find their cars won’t start, with flat batteries expected to be the main culprit.
