Traffic queues to leave and drivers not paying attention is the main reason, rarely see anyone under 80mph, no traffic police enforcement....

It is an increasing problem generally though but that stretch there seems to be seeing a lot of incidents lately.

Summer holidays have added to the issue as always

The M5 is a horrid motorway. As a Brum resident I often complain about the traffic on the M6, but everytime I'm on the M5, it's just a crap show of people doing 60mph in three lanes, and people not wanting to move over when you inevitably want to overtake.
But yeah, anytime there's anything remotely going on, you're sure to find rubberneckers who just forget about driving to see what's happened. Annoys me to no end!

Because when you're driving on the motorway (and in fact in general) you should be concentrating on your own driving and that of the people around you, not what's happening on the other side of the road...
I'd quite like something like this. Would also prevent drivers getting blinded by those driving with fake ****** HID kits that like to burn your retinas out just by pointing in your direction.

Human beings have a natural curiosity about the world around them. It's one of our better traits as a species. It does have some downsides however; this being one of them. Better this way than to not have any curiosity at all.

And cause another collision for people to gawp at. Well done.
Please tell me you don't make important decisions by yourself.

We're also supposed to be intelligent... e.g. enough to know when it's appropriate to be curious, and when it's more appropriate to pay attention to what the **** we're supposed doing. Clearly this is too much to ask of most people.
Exactly! This happens 100% of the time. And there is simply no reason for it apart from pure stupidity.

They'll be out of my way so problem solved
