That is affecting the driving ability of road users.

Agreed, along with the fuckers who dab the brakes every 100 yards, and the ones that drive down the middle lane for no good reason. |

In all fairness, Colin's fun has been caused by a HGV dropping from a bridge onto the M56, so he probably wasn't on a motorway when his accident started.

But does that include non-drivers (or not driving at the time) who cause such accidents ???

I was thinking the same. This is why they want to trial the double summer time again. It gets my vote. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I did wonder about you Colin it's still shut now took the wife four hours to get home from Manchester. I managed to avoid it thanks to her early warning. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

dont forget the drivers who have passed a test in a different country whereby they dont need to do fuck all to pass..... theyre the most annoying (doulbe yellow lines, edging through red lights, stopping in the middle of the road). |

What I cannot understand is how the driver managed to break through the barrier and drop off the bridge unless his concentration was suitibly distracted elsewhere, since the speed around this junction is no greater than 30mph, 40 tops. I've seen similar before on this very junction. I helped a young woman who managed to crash her car head on into the corner of a sandstone wall, quite some distance from the main road. Being first on the scene I was seriously worried since there was smoke rising, plenty of arcing, and the odour of melting plastic and raw fuel. The car was a good 0.5mm shorter than it should be. She suffered lacerated Knees, a compond fracture to her left arm, (which happened to be behind the passenger seat), and a serious case of shock. This could only happen with distraction, why else was her arm behind the passenger seat, and broken as though it was at the time of impact. Her hand bag was certainly in the rear of the car, as we reached in to get it, her phone was in it. The red circle in the picture was where the waggon ended up, and the yellow circle is where the woman ended up. The road is three lanes wide, how can you fall off it!! Distraction, other than a medical problem is the only probible cause. 
3hrs it took me to get home! but it pays to know all the country back roads around where you live  One thing I'd like an answer to is why none of the matrix signs were used to warn people heading that way?!, oh thats right, they only use them to warn you of traffic congestion absolutely miles from where you are or will ever be. I've seen warnings for M40 closures!! and when there are no incidents, they remind you of your basic values "Bin your litter, Other people do" oh well thats ok then, why should I bin my litter if some one else is willing to bin my litter for me, Huh. Those matrix signs are an utter waste of my RFL

We'll never know the true cause of that one as the driver died.

All I know from talking to wagon drivers and from witnessing a roll last year on a roundabout that it can be very easy to topple a wagon on a bend if the load shifts. I'm not saying that happened here, just that is can happen easily and at low speed |

Why not say something useful like 'Get out of the middle lane you twat!' I've seen them say "Keep left unless overtaking" however I think your phrasing would be more effective. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I've seen that too, nobody takes any notice. Especially not at commuting times... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
