No where near as bad as I thought it would be. M1 east Midland airport is cone free and it coped very well. 1st test a 2 weeks on Monday morning!
Came down the M1 onto A42 middle of this morning - never slowed up once, must be a record!
The great getaway, will begin tommorow, at about 1030, when they get up, and all decide to go to aunty Mable’s for Christmas… That’s my prediction… M25 from Croydon yesterday was a breeze, as was it today, like a Sunday before 11.00.

Yeah not too bad thankfully I even managed to sail through Bath on me way back from Bournemouth with no hold ups.
I’m working tomorrow and and Sunday. I guess I’m doomed.

Nah.
They all wanna beat the rush so EVERYONE starts about 04hr00 and by 6 or 7 the roads will be empty!
i hope…
I thought this, i done plymouth to northampton then back to bristol, never slowed once for traffic
Here’s my traffic prediction for next week for those of us unlucky enough to be plying our trade along our highways and byways; from early o clock until 10am every day will be driving nirvana, the cars on the road will be driven by experienced motorway users who will happily coexist with HGV’s and not disrupt us one iota. However come 10am then it all changes as “Mr Once a Year” ventures out! He can usually be spotted wearing a garish Chrimbo jumper and he’ll have a sat nav as bright as the Sun in the middle of his windscreen. He’ll also be fully conversant with the fuel economy figures for his particular vehicle and will therefore travel in lane two at an indicated 58mph (which will really be 53mph), he’ll spot a brake light 800 yards ahead and react immediately with a full emergency stop just to be on the safe side.
He’ll also not fully trust his new Christmas sat nav and so will obstinately remain in lane two until he’s 10 feet away from the exit slip that his device has been warning him about for the last 10 miles! In short, carnage.
And don’t forget there be the friendly type . And will flash in every truck that passes them.
