clockwise is much worse as its shut they were diverting cars off of the motorway but anti clockwise is moving.

been a right day for it, I left heathrow at 12, got stuck in all that shit, went up m40 and crossed a43 to get on m1, then at junction 17 on there they shut the m1 to land the air ambulance. The incompetence of one person fucks up the day for thousands of people, they want bull fucking

Landed in Heathrow after working a 12 hour duty day, got stuck on the M25 for a hour while i made my way to the M40.

Anyone who crashes on a motorway needs ridiculing live on the radio.

Thats a bit different then. I am talking about the twats that crash into the back of others rubber necking, those who crash into people changing lanes etc.

i seen a couple of twats yesterday. theyed had a minor bump in the outside/over taking lane and had just stopped there to exchange details. in the outside lane...the chaos for miles behind them made me think they needed a public thrashing. im not sure what the official procedure is for bumps on the motorway but if it had been me i would have pulled over onto the hard shoulder to sort it out.

if they caused the accident through their own means you get what you deserve! They didnt get up wanting to crash but they got up thinking they are better than everyone else on the road and thinking that its okay for them to undertake to get that 1 extra car length upon everyone else!! Having never crashed into another car I find it incomprehensible as to how you can cause such mayhem on a motorway, its the easiest thing in the world to drive on a three lane motorway smoothly and not cause any harm to fellow road users. It infuriates me when you see people driving like complete dicks, pulling out on people, playing the brake test game and stuff. If everyone just got on with it then the roads would flow. Its like when you find yourself in the outside lane doing 40mph, some twat at the front must be driving at that speed on purpose otherwise we'd all be at national speed limit. Im not perfect, im a long way from it, I speed, who doesnt but some people just cant drive for toffee. They should come out at midnight and do their driving then instead of fucking everyone elses day up.
rant over, feel much better now

went past j17 southbound about 2pm, was a clio punted into the central wall buy another car, but coming back to swindon from croydon wasnt too bad about 5.30, got up the m25 ok j15 and got onto the m4, thats where my trouble started. earlier crash at j10...

took me almost 3 hours to get home for what should have been 1.5 hours.

i hope the van sandwich wasnt caused by rubber neckers looking at the clio smash. rubber necking really fucks me off.

left at 7.15am, got in at 8.15pm...

I had to go to Victoria coach station yesterday, with no heater on the way there, then a 1hr delay on the way back due to a van on it's side, in which I think there may have been a fatality as soco were there, so was a busy day for accidents all round it seems.
