Rubber necking should result in a ban.......
« on: November 30, 2010, 10:54:07 pm »
I'm currently stuck anti-clock wise on the M25 between Junc 9 - Junc 8.

In the past 3 hours I have gone the sum total of 1.3 miles :fighting: :fighting:

Why I hear you ask?? Well a lorry has Jack Knifed on the opposite side and everyone this side is slowing down to look resulting in the Jam.  :fighting: :fighting:

I'm fully expecting tickets to be on sale when I get there as the action must be amazing judging by the Jam it's caused.

If your planning on driving that part of the M25 tonight DON'T !!!!

Fecking Rubber neckers  :fighting: they should all get banned  :fighting:

Love you all  :love:

A very pissed off F.R.A.G

I will glance but TBH there's no point in slowing down. Most people aren't gonna be able to do anything. The people who can/will help are the emergency services.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Just looking on the Highways Agency website and the problem is between 8 & 7 clockwise and it wont be fixed until 06:00am.

Anti-clockwise it says expected delays of 1.5 hours and normal traffic from 11:45.  :sad1: :sad1:

It gets better.

I've just been told off for having a Piss against my car by a copper. Despite pointing out that I've been stuck in a queue that rivals Operation Stack for over 3 hours I just got told if I did it again I would be arrested for indecent exposure :fighting:

Good job I have a sense of humour :laugh:

I think he did the right thing. I'd arrest you for peeing on your car too!  :grin:

I have, in the past and in similar situations, had to make use of an empty drinks bottle.
