What happened on the M5 last night

[philthy]

Any Devon and Cornwall BiB on here?
Just north of Exeter, about 23:10 last night. Very strange accident, I couldn't work out what had happened. It looked like someone ran up the arse of a stationary works vehicle, pushing him through the central reservation??
How anybody manages to bin it on a virtually deserted motorway is beyond me.

Just imagine if it had been a Speed Camera there......the person would probably have braked.

I doubt it Tony, from what I could gather (probably wrong), he'd driven straight into the back of a works vehicle. How on earth does anyone not see four super bright flashing yellow lights, and a sodding great direction arrow?...not to mention all the other warning signs/vehicles.
Darwinism I suspect.

Don't say things like that...we'll end up with "Sleep Cameras" next. Martin.

What percentage of people can't see properly?

Funny old thing: Hampshire partnership are running an ad campaign with a picture of an upturned car. Caption is something like: Fred was nice and warm and died in his sleep.... at 70 mph.

Now, if he had been doing 90, then he would have had to concentrate and would have probably stayed awake. If he had dozed off, then the outcome would have been no different..... :flamesuit on:
