It caused massive inconvenience to thousands of people, but hey, who cares, we've got heath and safety to consider.....oh, and we don't really care.

Oh, and the other car I'm sure was a black Mondeo?

The simple fact is that we have all become too risk averse, and consequently some people have actually paid with their lives, so please don't start making excuses for the fact that a minor shunt once again shuts a major road, it happens all the time now.

Its bloody roadworks that wind me up the most. The reason why police have to shut it off is because they need to investigate whose fault it was so charges can be given to the offending driver if needed. It was probably a case of each driver blaming each other. Why do people crash for? I drive extremely fast but have never crashed. Theres a few people that need to re sit their tests I think!

"... I drive extremely fast but have never crashed. "
But I bet you see a lot of accidents in your rear view mirror.

I remember once I was going down the A13 heading towards the Lakeside turn off and I was on lane 3, and I cut across all 3 lanes of traffic at about 90-100mph, so I could get onto the slip road. Would that annoy you?
Not entirely relevant but does anyone else get annoyed when driving along the Arterial at the speed limit,50 mph, they come flying down the slip road at Nevendon at 60 mph.?

If no one is killed or badly injured the next priority should be to get the traffic moving because the jams create other accidents behind and around them.
