      You'd think it would be simple to
      1/ adhere to the two second gap
      2/ keep left
      3/ slow down in the wet

      but apparently not
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Having spent 4 years listening to drive time in the mornings and evenings, all daily accidents have the following connection:

        1. A lorry
        2. M25 Jn 6 anti-clockwise or M25 Jn 26 clockwise
        3. A red Nova

        If we remove lorries and red cars, there will be no more accidents

          Nice one hyperD. Expect a call from the Portuguese police soon. They need help solving a missing child case over there...

              Once the infrastructure for nationwide congestion charging is in place it should be possible to estimate the cost of any accident. I reckon almost any accident on a major route in London or inside the M25 must cost millions. I hope they introduce legislation to charge the relevant insurance company.

              They should also charge any delivery vehicles that (illegally) park close to the lights at the Trafalgar Square end of Northumberland Avenue, thereby blocking one lane and halving the already paltry number of vehicles that manage to get through during the five seconds in every minute the lights are green.

              They should charge every council and utilily x hundred thousand pounds per hour for lanes closed for roadworks.

              They should charge the police for the time they prolong the re-opening of lanes after an accident while they conduct their investigation.

                You don't find bad drivers just on the roads;

                http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/7001366.stm

                More than 200 passengers will be delayed overnight after their aircraft became stuck while preparing to take off from Glasgow Airport.

                The Emirates Airline flight to Dubai was heading towards the runway at about 1420 BST when it rolled on to grass as it turned a corner.
