Motorway queues and 'rubbernecking'

Unless I've been a passenger, I've never looked at an accident when driving.

Rubbernecking although perceived as disgusting and perverted is a condition built into the Human framework, something to do with the pack instinct and looking at the kill, drawn from our hunter gatherer past. Although we dont wish to rubberneck we are all drawn to it. I'll wager even the most militant anti-rubbernecker will cast a glance and even slow down ever so slightly to see the bloodbath on the road, so Human=pack instinct=view the kill..

By no means is it a good or practical solution and yes I'm pretty much talking out my @rse, but I'd love every gawping driver to be pulled over and issued 3 points and £100 fine.

I only say this because 1 accident I've been in was the result of what I later saw to be a van on car crash, the moronic mindless 27 year old woman caked in make up behind me was on her phone and staring at the accident. I saw this from glancing into my rear view mirror but had nowhere to go as the traffic had stopped. Crunch. When I got out, she stayed put and the police came over. She claimed I reversed into her car. Retard. As far as I know, the police saw it and she was heavily fined, given points and her insurance company didn't try to contest police statements.

Car Crusher, here is a radical thought for you stop all drivers driving two cars or more at once.
So you are saying "what the h*ll does he mean by that" no doubt ... well how many drivers do you know that can drivemore than one car at a time??
If building more roads generates more cars, where do all the drivers come from to drive those extra cars??
If we increase the capacity of the motorways to accommodate the number of drivers who actually use a particular stretch of road, then where will all the other cars come from to fill it up??? End of problem, and no need to crush more cars.
Just crushing cars, and the car "Scrappage" scheme as it is called, generate more polution producing new cars than running older ones longer. Regardless of how "clean" newer engines are.
We should all be driving Hydrogen powered vehicles, and pollution would from cars would be almost non-existant.

I have one idea to tackle motorway congestion, be it on the M25 or anywhere else. If we encourage employers to almost exclusively employ people from within a 10 mile radius of their place of work; there would be fewer cars on the road and less congestion.

Stuck in traffic on the M60 just before the M61 slip near Eccles Manchester I heard a siren behind and prepared to move over. Checked my mirrors but no blue lights. I did a double take when I saw a white unmarked transit connect van edging everyone from the outside lane. It then shot to the hard shoulder and disappeared up the motorway still sounding a siren!! Was this an unmarked police car or just a very bold commuter...can anybody please explain!?

I believe the practice is known as 'swooping' - the daredevil, death-defying display of stupendous car control and test of steely nerves which leaves us lesser driving mortals shaking our heads in admiration.

At least I think it is in admiration.

These 'Last Chance Saloon' lanes that are being incorporated into major junction exits only encourage people shooting over from the outside lane to the slip road. The kind of slip road exits where there are two filters, merging into two lanes on the actual slip road. The number of people I've seen come flying across three lanes of traffic and the chevrons to make their exit is staggering.

Although on the M42 the other week, I witnessed a BMW cut across the chevrons to make the exit, and seconds later a police car that had been cruising behind a lorry put on its lights and shot off after the BMW, leaving all the surrounding drivers with a warm happy feeling in their tummys!

Peter is actually from Kent, and you go where the work is. I dont mind paying a toll so long as it is fair.
Incorporate road tax into the fuel. Reduce Government fuel Tax at the same time.
Of course I didnt think they built Motorways to attract cars.Easing congestion in the countries By-Ways, how silly of me.
BTW I am also for Hydrogen Cars, Nuclear Plants for electric, as well.
I do apologise "Crush All Cars" rename yourself TROLL.

The cause of the congestion is simple. Too many cars. Guys like Peter need to pay more for the motorways, by toll if necessary. Or have their cars crushed.

All building motorways does is attract cars like a swarm of flies. Why do people live in Andover and work in London? It's complete nonsense.

Crush all the cars

The police had to almost beat people back when my friend and I were struck by that motorcyclist. They closed the road so that we could all be tended to, but people tried to walk down the set-aside on the other side of the hedges. I hope they enjoyed seeing a horse almost sliced in two slowly bleeding to death. It beats me how ghoulish people are, the sick bast****.
