Its Friday morning, its cold, its damp here in London. It was pouring down virtually all night in Caterham last night.
My commute involves riding a BMW GS1150 from there to Fulham.
It traffic virtually all the way as normal, maybe a bit heavier, and slower, you've got to have your wits about you.
Took it gently this morning, I left at 0845.
I counted four ambulances at the side of the road, with Police also in attendance on the way in, and two more on Blues n Twos going somewhere.
Unusual to see four at accidents.
Anyone else notice it was a bit iffy this morning, or have a reason as to why it was today?

It's just back to full roads now the schools are back, roads full of bloody idiots pushing and shoving all the time. The last two weeks have seen some appalling driving around my way, I hate them all!!!

over the last few years, i've noticed this to be one of the worst times of the year to be on the road.
as stated, all the schools back, and added to that with the nights drawing in more and more to the commute time of day, it seems to show up alot of peoples real inability to drive in the dark and crappy conditions.

I thought the AA/RAC had done studies into the worst time of year for accidents - isn't the first week after the clocks go back the worst time of year?
