No doubt this will turn into another thread with all the 40mph boys knocking those of us that want/need to crack on…Need ?
WANT?

Is it up the m5 and across from Birmingham or along the m4 and up from reading?
The quickest way from Avonmouth to Northampton (least gear changes to save fuel 
) would be via M6, M74, M8, A1, M1.

Even for you, that was actually funny!

Hope it wasn’t you who dropped it on Shrivenham roundabout today?

I saw that. It didn’t cause too much disruption though. The Police just sent traffic round the roundabout in the opposite direction.
Couldn’t have been Wiltshire Police then, they usually close the road and leave some PCS0’s on duty with no local knowledge with regards to a decent diversionary route!

Not me - I slow down for roundabouts.

CRUSHED car parts were strewn across a lane on the A420, forcing it to close after a lorry overturned near Shrivenham.
The driver, not believed to be from the Swindon area, was taken to Great Western Hospital with back injuries following the single-vehicle accident, which happened at the Watchfield roundabout at 0940 today, Thursday 01 August 2013.
Bundled scrap vehicle parts, which were being transported by an RD Robinson HGV, were spread across the roundabout’s lane for around six hours.
Traffic on the A420 was kept moving in both directions, despite parts of the road having to be shut by police.
A small part of High Street on the edge of Watchfield was cordoned off to allow emergency workers to clean-up.
Three recovery agents worked around the clock to ensure the debris was cleared in time for the rush hour.
PC Martin Mann, who was at the scene to divert traffic away from the incident, said: “Nobody else was involved. It was a single-vehicle accident.
“The driver, who is from outside our area, was taken to hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries.
“The clean-up looks set to take a long time.
“The lorry was carrying bundled scrap parts when it overturned which are now all over the road.”
A vehicle from the Highways Agency was in attendance.
Two fire engines, from Stratton and Faringdon, also arrived at the scene but the driver had already been freed from the lorry.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “When they arrived there wasn’t much for them to do as the man had already been freed from the vehicle.”
