Traffic Rant !!!

I drive just under 2 miles to and from work, u mad?


I put in £50 2 weeks ago today, did a trip to coventry and back, and am still on the same tank. Feels good man.
 
The first day i drove after passing my test was xmas day 93. I met one other car on my 6 mile journey. Go out now on xmas day and its worse than a normal day.
 
Surely it was on traffic websites/highways agency websites etc? Did you not check them before you left? I always do before a long journey.
 
The other week on the way home from college in South Shields for Easter, I had a rather pleasant cruise down a rather empty A19 through the scenic North Yorkshire National Park and was making really good time, but was then enraged when I hit an 80 mile stretch of the M62 near Leeds where they were renewing the road lighting. There wasn't a workman in sight and hardly another a vehicle on the road either, yet the speed limit was dropped to 50mph and the average speed check cameras were out in force. :mad:

It's reassuring to know that our road workers are so well protected by the noble guardians of the Highways Agency, even when they're at home having their dinner. :rolleyes: I'll take the M6 north and A66 back when I return on Sunday, and God help me if they start knobbing around with the roads up there.
 
I used to drive from Cambridge to Slough every work day for 7 months, it really nearly killed me, my 42 round trip to work everyday seems just like a joyride in comparison. Also I get to try by car like I stole it down some hairy B roads everyday :)

Anybody that has to use the M25 on a daily basis deserves a medal!
