Scaredy Cat

Went visiting on my bike, (Oxford to Kent return) came back just before midday, raining, high levels of traffic on M25 - what made it scarey was the amount of last minute lane switching and motors cutting across late for turn offs.

Easter Bank Holiday notorious - some drivers seemed frustrated, stressed and irritable, typical bank holiday I suppose.

Next time going through London rather than a high speed mix it (feeling grateful to get home in one piece).

not really used motorway jousting especially the M25 maelstrom, perhaps it's a case of if the kitchen is too hot get out.

Get the occasional incident locally (M40) of course but not so evident.

They say the M25 is so bad because they are in the main part urban drivers not Motorway Drivers, still does not excuse bad driving in my book, good job I am not a traffic cop I would have paperwork up the ceiling.

Hardwick Island is bad at Kings Lynn. Been cut up on the bike loads of times. The lanes are badly signposted exiting onto the A47 near the motel and cut across at the last minute

Yes you get used to it but the lane layout is bad and does not flow as it should, and it is the only place that I can recall that has a roundabout on top of another one, well more or less, I often wonder if these raod planers drive at all?
