  1. A very nerdy video on a subject I'm not interested in - motorways and road planning - except for one thing. We've lived in Portsmouth for over 50 years, we've driven on the M27 to Southampton hundreds of times. We'd never noticed there was no junction 6.

  4. Multiple bottles of #prosecco yeeted into live lanes of #M4 #motorway and a container knocked from a #lorry following a #collision - one lorry #driver #arrested on suspicion of using a #mobilePhone at the wheel. There were only minor injuries, but the clean up will take a good few hours!

  5. Good work by #lorry driver - keeping occupants of small car that has broken down on "smart" #motorway safe and calling nines so #Police and #NationalHighways are aware - it took 5 mins on 999 call, and 13 further minutes for National Highways to arrive on scene, and #drivers are barely noticing stationary lorry (further ahead the matrix sign is showing "national speed limit", which suggests there has already been a restriction on previous signs so drivers are likely trying to accelerate to get back to 70mph (112 km/h)

    These smart #motorways are not safe (thankfully there are no further ones being built)

  6. This man was #driving way too fast on the #m1 #motorway in #Buckinghamshire - he clouted armco of the central reservation and busted front wheel/driveshaft - and carried on driving to a petrol station!

    It seems he did not call 999 himself as he was committing a #DUI offence at the time - but was tracked down via #CCTV and brought before Crown #Court - he pleaded guilty and got 22 months in #jail due to the risk caused to other road users (he will likely serve about 8 months of that inside)
