Title: Rubber necking should result in a ban.......
Post by: vRS Carl 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.

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.

Well finally just arrived home after what is normally a 2 hour journey just took 9hrs 7mins :fighting: :sad1:

Off for a power nap for an hour then will commence the return leg :surprised:

Highways agency need shooting. I cleared the Jam at 0235 but due to rubber neckers causing the jam in the first place no gritters had been on the road so from Junc 8 on the M25 to near enough Maidstone on the M20 was sheet ice. I was doing 15mph all the way.  :sad1:

Bonus is I only used 1/4 tank of fuel  :laugh:

....I daren't do that in case I forgot and took a swig from my drinks bottle later.

That's crazy for a copper not to use his discretion in the circumstances. Perhaps a rubber necking woman on the other carriageway saw you, Carl, and complained that she wanted some of that cock!  :evilgrin:

Yeah, I think that anyone running around on a busy motorway waving their cock and causing rubber necking and hence major traffic hold-ups, should be banned.
