im not happy about having to do it everyday

Frankly it's pretty much always shit round the Heathrow area. So long as you don't need to drive that bit between 7am and 7pm you're ok LOL.

benjaminsarmy

traffic 24/7 but there is no other way around as fast

fuzzy

yep, its full of trucks hogging all the lanes doing 56mph.

to be honest itsnot that bad round heathrow area from 10ish till 4ish but if there is traffic its usaully junction 13 to 15 both ways......oh and the roadworks at juction 17ish

kosman

or just go round the otherway over dartford crossing upto juction 7 that way but the tolls are £1.50 6am-10pm (i think thats the times)

kosman

I would personally go round Dartford way. Maybe longer, but almost guaranteed less traffic.

kosman

gaffer wont pay the toll and fucked if im paying it,it'll be more for a artic i would have thought

The Roadworks after the A41 can be a B****rd! There seems to be no pattern to when the Heathrow section is crap either, I have been lucky at rush hour and stuck in tailbacks on a Sunday evening, but the other way round seems like an awfully long way. On the whole it is the only option.

Keep your fingers tightly crossed and go for it, good luck mate!!!

Depends where abouts you are on it but theres always roadworks and s**t loads of average speed cameras. I think its about 4-5quid for artic on the dartford crossing.

parking up at 3ish most days bored out me brains

just stick it out and don't rush about the place

and make sure you stay in the correct lanes

as for the traffic, coming down you are going to be pretty much fucked from aroun 21 right the way through to about 15, and then spits and spats till about junction 10 where it seems to clear up for some reason (not that it's the end of the speed cameras oh no)

on the way back it can be screwed from 8/9 onwards all the way till the m1 so just make sure youv'e got an auto

M25 looked a nitemare today coming back from work today, traffic heading towards Heathrow.

kosman

kosman

m25 is usually shit, but the m5 at the mo over portbury docks near bristol where the roadworks are is a right cunt!

took me 45 mins to do about 5 miles at 3pm today. j20-17.

cuuuuuuuuuuuuunts

im down surrey monday too, so that means m25 gayness!

kosman

not so bad in a van though id say,you dont have to watch your driving time ebb away while not actually moving

What happens if your stuck on the motorway and you've done 4 + 1/2 hours with out a break and you can't get off the road to rest? Are you allowed to go over untill its safe to stop providing you don't go over your total daily driving hours?

kosman

yep,you have to write your reason on the back of the card,you cant make it up though,if you put rta they will check with local plod,its frowned upon if you go on a m-way knowing you havent got enough time to get to a suitable stopping place.
