Or perhaps in police cell for using mobile phone whilst driving?

I wish.

They don't put you in a cell unless you cause an accident.

Are you still on M40?

A few years ago I was driving to a live action horror game in the Friday evening rush hour. A lorry over turned and blocked all of the lanes (or maybe it was just two, I cannot remember). I ended up 7 hours late but everyone decided to wait (2 others were delayed too) so we ended up having our formal evening meal together served at 1 in the morning ... fond memories.

A delay of an hour is hardly worth creating a thread about given someone probably died last night. Stop fkcing whinging.

At least find out who, and send the family an invoice for the non-billable time.

Seems fair.

Honestly, the poor bloke was just posting on here to alleviate the boredom... I don't think he was moaning.

Pipe down, girl.

If someone dies in an accident, they have a duty to treat it as a crime scene.

Got going about 23:10. Could have been worse.

No sign of anything. So that probably means the traffic wombles spent the last hour measuring tyre marks and sweeping up whilst keeping the whole motorway closed rather than letting through the trapped traffic ASAP.

At least he wasn't...

Sounds like an option if he does not have any great music to dance to

If you're between J10-J11, the Highways Agency is now saying 11:45pm

Just hope he has some great music to dance to just don't sing too loud.

That's what I do in traffic jams - everyone things you are weird but who cares.

I've discovered that the not-cigarette socket in my car (and therefore my phone charger) works without the ignition. I didn't know that.

Google maps is saying the road is expected to reopen at 11pm.

40 min is light delays, it could easily be 5 or 7 hours. Last time it happened to me, people were turning back and using the hard shoulder to get back to the previous junction. People who were foolish enough to try to enter the motorway must have been quite surprised seeing cars moving towards them in the same lane on the slip road.
