I've said it before. No doubt I'll say it again.

I am NOT fkING INTERESTED in whether or not the "M6 TOLL CLEAR". I expect it to be used less - it's a TOLL ROAD FFS.

What I would find more useful is if the NORMAL M6 is clear. Then I could make some sort of meaningful choice.

Bellends.

PS I don't care about the caravan.

that's one of those horrible ones with no rear window, couldn't have been going that fast on the approach to the toll I wonder what happened to cause that.
No rear window usually means a fixed bed....
It's a wardrobe and bathroom at the back of the Champagne

Look on the bright side the wardrobe and the bathroom are still usable after a few repairs with a bit of duct tape.With the win win situation that the front end is more aerodynamic and they can use a hotel if they need to stop anywhere over night.

I think some of those signs are sponsored by the toll road just for info on it.

I did once see a sign saying delays on it though, take that you smug bds!

To you guys gloating about the destruction, give yourselves some pause to consider that someone's P&J, as well as whatever contents that were inside, has been completely ruined.

Yeah, fking hilarious.

All well and good, but how much was the caravan worth? Not like the DM to miss out such a critical detail.

I've seen less damage at a caravan banger race! I'd love to see if any traffic cams captured it!

On the bright side, it's definitely scrap. No need to send an assessor!

And it's almost certainly his own stupid fking fault for the way he loaded it and/or towed it. These bell ends put us all in danger with their badly loaded misery boxes, but I bet he will face absolutely no consequences whatsoever for the carnage he has caused. I love seeing a caravan smashed to a million pieces and all their crap strewn over the road, it's a little bit of Karma in action.

Had to chuckle at that quote, yeah because it's the caravan's fault...

I bet the matrix signs still said "M6 Toll clear"
I've always assumed that those boards were hard-wired.

I've yet to see "M6 Clear - The toll road is very expensive, save your money"

I'm bored so playing half arsed accident investigation from the skidmarks. Caravan was changing between lane 1 and 2 whilst slowing for the toll, it's been hit by the white 3 series locking up its n/s/f wheel. Caravan has hit the n/s barrier and the tow car has spun into the o/s barrier.



o/s rear of the caravan is damaged as is the n/s front of the bmw which doesn't look to have a tow bar, where's the tow car? BMW driver is the one looking sheepish on his own by the drivers door, all the others were in the tow car going for some old peoples gang bang dogging session yes

And no details on damage to flat screens, playstations and sky dishes - 1/10

I would wager that 95% of all you guys taking the piss out of the poor caravan owner would be in tears if the accident involved an overturned car trailer with a rally / race car trashed. There's no difference in my eyes, its still someones pride and joy. Towing is towing whether it be car transporters or caravans. The same restrictions apply and the same accidents can occur. I suspect the centre of gravity of a trailer with a classic series Landrover is considerably higher than most caravans. I've towed both over plenty of years and the closest I ever came to an accident was towing the rally car! It got all snaky on me going downhill...

Sorry but I don't like seeing accidents involving ANY vehicle, always sad.

Quite so.

Some of these comments are pathetic, to say the least.

It's quite amusing, lighten up! Well the caravan certainly has. But to think about this in slightly more detail: we live in a country with a booming tourist industry. Whenever I have wanted to go somewhere it's been possible to find a nearby hotel, guest house or self-catering cottage. It's fine.

What remains baffling is the insistence, by some, that their particular personal space, their environment and lifestyle, is of sufficient importance that it be miniaturised and badly loaded into a oversized biscuit tin on wheels - to the detriment of everyone else. Drivers, but not exclusively of course. There's the environment to consider: firstly needless concrete pans for the things to stand on. Not forgetting the vile infusion of chemicals and excrement lurking at the bottoms of their cassette lavatories.

These human hermit crabs, these elderly fleece wearing pseudo snails, why must you continue to annoy the rest of us? Your monomaniac desire to transport a velour and formica facsimile of your drudge filled existence to a damp field is a fruitless quest. One's view of the horizon is not broadened when viewed through a brown tinted plastic window.

So I say, as ever, it's actually quite funny. They'll no doubt be sweeping up shattered remnants of 'Wills and Kate' commemorative mugs and Elvis CDs for weeks! Lol!
