Not really, because I know they'll keep doing it anyway.

Instead of all the roadworks, they could do a lot more to improve the traffic by making it more likely for the idiots to get caught. Maybe if they had to start driving lessons again they'd learn how to drive properly. (Of course this would require the standard of driving tuition to be raised considerably. Like including motorway driving, night driving and skid pan work.)

Me too. No gritting, idiots driving too fast and traffic at a standstill.

I was lucky to find a back road which saved me 2 hours of tailback traffic, but it was very hairy indeed - hence 3 cars in the ditch within a mile of each other. And considering the way my car was behaving at 15mph, I have a pretty good idea how they ended up in there.
