Gidders:
It’s always been my habit,in circumstances where traffic is queueing or slowing like this to put on my 4 way flashers hopefully to forewarn following traffic and,if I stop,to leave a gap of 20 yards or so,until the vehicle behind me has acted on what I have done.
Did that myself on the A66 last night at the queues for the roadworks. They’ve been putting the traffic lights for the convoy at some very dubious places around the Warcop single carriageway stretch including at the bottom of that S bend dip heading westbound just after the Stainmore stretch of DC last week.
