michael Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I got held up in a pretty major traffic jam on the way to work this morning, my 5 minute journey turned into an hour and 45 minutes due to the M62 being closed and the police helping to cause chaos by turning a big bottleneck into an even bigger one.... anyway.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/5294504.stm (Not sure why it's under Bradford when it was in Leeds) Tragic stuff and it hits home when both me and my good lady travel that stretch at the time of the accident each day (I was late to leave today and she's at home) but what worries me the most is the fact that they have been forced to close off 2 lanes on the other carriageway... because people are slowing down to have a look at the accident and take pictures It never ceases to amaze me how people don't consider the knock on effect of doing things like this, the lorries that leave huge gaps on sliproads which then forces people to queue back onto the motorway, people slowing down to look at 'interesting' things next to the road and just the general mentality of drivers on the road today The government should be doing more to get across the message of good roadcraft and consideration to all drivers, some people seem to have learnt to pass a driving test but never really learnt to drive. I'm done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll never happen. Yeah I got caught up a bit earlier in the traffic overspilling onto other roads from this but not too bad out on the M621.

RedM Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It was bad again this evening, I believe. The traffic was mental around Tingley area and they were queuing to get on the m-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
