19th - Stau

M5 North near Tewkesbury, Glos. view map

Decided to bimble up the M5 rather than take the A roads to get to work this morning...bad choice! Quite literally 1/4 mile from my junction the police closed the motorway right in front of us because of an accident just before the exit slip. Nothing to do but wait it out - we got going again within 45 mins so no real harm done. The accident looked like a three car rear-end shunt, only one ambulance in attendance and no mention of it in social media today so I assume no bad casualties...

Yikes! I have no patience for waiting in long lineups, but seems the Motorways are notorious for backups.

Oh, that's frustrating all right.

Ah yes, all it takes is one careless person to seriously mess up another's day.

I sat in traffic for many hours, for many years. It only takes one idiot to ruin everyone's morning.

Nice shot of Stau in England. I remember the Stau you got into driving from LA to SD.
