Traffic arrrgghhhh

Just taken an hour and a half to do 10 miles never getting over 20 at anytime AND despite being overtaken by all the snails the person in front of me for the last 4 miles let everyone and his gran in front of them including two buses.
I have stopped in the pub to wait for it to clear so I can open up and let her fly

Ahhhhh feel a bit better now

Traffic was shocking here this morning.

I let loads of people in.

Hope you're not drinking booze.

Let one in & move forward is my policy - works like a machine then


If anyone tries to push in they feel my wrath though

If everyone let one person in we'd get there much quicker

But push in and I'll drive like a **** to show I'm not happy

It took me 90 minutes to do roughly 550 metres the other day. Those 550 metres were just the start of a 100+km commute.

Don't talk to me about traffic.

agree with the 'let one in' policy, keeps things moving well sort of... but its 50% quieter here as all the school run tanks/4x4s/people carriers (with 1 adult + 1 child) are left at home.

It works well and I let everyone else carry on with that while I turn into Mr Audi McMerc Beemer man and ease my nose out forcing others to stop.
Or at least I did in the 156 as it was damaged anyway I didn't get scared in the game of chicken of who might scratch who I tend to to avoid traffic like the plague and will go the long way round as I'd rather be moving than stationary even though it would take the same amount of time if I just waited in the traffic.

I refuse to work in Brum due to the M6 traffic. I've done it before and it drives me insane.
