From my experience last night, in and around the M3 & A272 there was a lot of very bad driving by a few individuals, causing massive tailbacks when they just blocked the roads. A lot of other people carried on driving very close to each other and that meant that once you stopped you could not get out, or overtake.
I was lucky as I was able to take a vehicle equipped for the job – mud tyres :roll:, 4×4, spares clothes and food- from work as I was out in the field today. Just as well I did as the 10 minute journey turned in to 1.5 hours instead.
Most of the problem was the assumption that the more that you use your right foot the further forward you go.
