More than 15million day trippers were expected to hit the roads after the ban on people leaving their local area was lifted.
But many motorists were pulled over by officers carrying out road safety checks, and grilled about where they were going.
Police set up checkpoints and stopped cars from London heading to Brighton for the day.
