Any one know anymore about it southbound a stobbie ran up the arse of a chemical tanker anyone know how the drivers are?
Hope your ok brother.
Que if guess down slip road onto carriageway and he’s piled into it,WHY do drivers not use there hazard warning lights in these circumstances,my first reaction when I see anything going on ahead is too get them On,it just gives the driver behinda warning too slow down and drop back,I just can’t believe the amount of drivers who sit there ( including truck drivers) stationary on a main carriageway with NO hazards onthe amount who see a incident ahead and can’t be assed too warn the driver behind 
.
Hazards are there for a reason ,use them,then we won’t have incidents like this
Gridlock all around… Mansfield & Chesterfield. Take a really wide berth or brave it, stuck in Mansfield currently, doing a bit of PSTT spotting though.

Great ! I’m heading north on the M1 (just past Leicester at the minute) delivering to Winvic Construction/just off J28, so I’ve got no choice !
What’s PSTT spotting ?
Might be joining you in an hour.

Oh, I thought it might be-
Pretty Smart Top Totty !
I’m here on site now, got a result, the inside lane came straight off, they’re still queuing north bound & I can only see a few heading south (from where I’m sitting, behind the Co Op RDC) so I reckon that the south bound is still closed.

Why would you sit there stationary with hazard lights on?
My hazard warning lights would go on until vehicles behind me were slowed down or stopped. The reason I turn them off again is that I’m NOT the hazard. People who can’t see past me don’t know this and would start changing lanes blocking any route the emergency services might try and take between stationaty vehicles.
I came up through it this morning looked a right mess hope all are ok though
From that picture it looks like the passenger side took the direct impact from the crash, hopefully all involved will be ok. We all deserve to go home to our families at the end of the day.
Driver got a broken leg.
I don’t think that’s the accident this was a curtain sider stobbie with green curtains a silver car at the front not sure about the truck in the middle also it was at the end of the chevrons at the start of the exit slip if that makes sense but a similar incident

I think you need your eyesight testing. 
These pictures are from the incident you claimed to have “seen” this morning.

Very lucky escape as usual it looks like the cab has been torn from it’s mounts and moved rearwards but the speed was low enough for everything to come to a halt in time before the next stage in the process of crushing the cab between the two trailers as seen elsewhere.Yet again showing the inherent safety compromise of the cab over design.
That’s the accident I saw about 08.30 this morning j28 southbound I was going from Sheffield to Sutton in Ashfield didn’t hold me up to badly.

FTFY.
Lets be honest, something like this does not just “Jump out” in front of you and is clearly a case of the driver not looking infront of them or otherwise distracted.
It caused mayhem on the surrounding routes, taking nearly 2 hours to get from J29 to J28

Maybe if we all drove in a proper manner more of us would go home.The ones that drive like idiots everyday do not deserve anything apart from losing their license.

There are some muppets out there, saw a wincantonski driver on the A14 the other day, sat at 50 ish mph on cruise control with his right foot clearly resting up on the dash board! when you see drivers doing that its not suprising they cant stop in time, theyve probably seen johny foriegner doing the same and thought it was cool, but it isnt much of a probem for them doing it!
