Bloody ridiculous the the M5 between Weston and Bristol this morning. Only one lane really clear (and that's being generous), so the majority of people in cars were sensible and driving at 30mph or so.
Except for every single cunt in a 37T fucking arctic. We can go at 56mph, so regardless of the fucking shit conditions, we're bloody well going to drive at 56mph, snow or no snow. Cunts the fucking lot of them.
I know there are a couple of truckers on here (leefer, arriba), but I'm sorry, your 'colleagues' have fucked me right off this morning.
Stopped snowing in North Bristol at 1020 though.
the vast majority of truckers are the best drivers on the roads.sadly there are some cretins at the wheel of trucks too.anyone driving at 56 in this weather is a fool.i had one steam up the outside of me last night on the a34 through snow and nearly ran me off the road.some people in 4x4's seem to think they are invincible to. no doubt i will be sent out in it again tonight,and i expect it to be the worse night of the week. a mate called me from the a420 at 3 am stuck, so i went up the a34 and m4 from poxford to get here.even that was dangerous with it down to one lane. |

I saw a taxi driver trying to overtake some other car on the very icy Thames Avenue yesterday, absolute knob jockey.

Nothing showing up on traffic not for the motorway itself. But local roads are another matter I'd imagine. Looks like the Severn crossings are closed though. http://letscommunicate.co.uk/carpc/traffic/trafficnet.htm |

They've just mentioned it again on the radio. They do get it wrong sometimes though.

I think my brizzle lift might be bottling it.
Might have to hitchhike it.
