There were also two more crashes yesterday, one between J9-J10 M20 and another between J10-J11, a bad day yesterday on the motorways around here. There was nearly 20 miles of complete standstill traffic from Ashford to Maidstone yesterday afternoon.









Nearly didn't get to a car meet at the dickens world chatham because of the M20 ones itwas chaos on the round about in Ashford as the A20 and the J9 meet.  :o :o

Perhaps we should have mentioned this, as I was there too. Was yours the silver saloon parked next to my estate?

J9 was a nightmare, from 4 o'clock until about 7 yesterday afternoon Ashford was pretty much gridlocked.

No I went with a friend in his dodge Challenger,  8) left mine at home, glad to see the Monaro's were well represented and the black one held the tyre laying trophy for the evening :y ;D
Oh and idiot of the night went to the BMW driver that lost it on the roundabout trying to drift round it.  ::) ;D ;D ;D

There was nearly a proper pileup on the M40/A43 Jct on Tuesday, as a lorry had underestimated how catasphorically slowly some retard was going up a fast, long sliproad, and had it proper sideways trying to avoid it. HTF the lorry driver managed to miss the retard and me is a mystery. Good job I was in the Bullet, as I don't think TBE would have stopped in time, or as controlled, and cars behind were all out of shape.

Looks like there was no impacts anywhere, surprisingly, as far as I could see.

By the time the lorry had got moving again, and I was able to catch up with the retarded car driver, he was pootling over the M40 bridge at 20mph, completely oblivious to the incident he had caused, but I heard the lorry give him a good blast of horn.


Absolutely rather retard. If you are not prepared to even attempt the speed limit, give up driving, because you're rather dangerous  >:(

Having done 800 miles in Spain in the last couple of days brings home what a bunch of cretins drivers in the UK are. Then again, I'm sure the lighter (outside cities!) traffic probably helps. I don't doubt that this would have been avoided if a few more drivers actually devoted some attention to the driving conditions and the road ahead. ::)

And retarded petrol stations didn't dedicate so much time and attention to selling hot drinks for drivers to consume whilst driving.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Given the scale, I wouldn't mind betting that unless you can prove you were taken up the arse, and no other impacts, it'd all go knock for knock.
