I do understand about the boat and everything, BUT what is really needed is for those who plan the work allow more time, and it’s a bit unrealistic to expect to travel the whole length of England and not run into some sort of hold up.
Also, given the police presence on this road, how many hgv drivers are getting prosecuted for speeding. I’ve had a clean license the last thirty years, and not to mention, if there is a serious accident, or a fatality, you can’t tell the court you were speeding because you needed to get to the boat, or you wanted to be home for the weeken
