kng mess!!!! M25 crawling for miles due to two trucks being idiots. 
What I would really like to know is which complete and utter moron thought it would be a good idea to restrict an already pretty damn busy two lane arterial"motorway" to one lane.
If a car breaks down fine you could probably squeeze past or at least move it easy enough. A truck breaks down and the lane is blocked end of.
Couldn't even bring myself to be pissed at the truck driver since he wasnt exactly responsible. In fact even after all my traffic woes this morning being caused by trucks i find i am still being nice to trucks... i fear i may be broken.

West end of the M27 is a mess too apparently. Seems a Beemer drove into the back of a stationary lorry somewhere about the J1 area so motorway closed at that end.
The incident was at Ringwood (Poulner Hill) - happened around 02:30 this morning.It was a fatal, apparently..

Impressive thing is that if it happened 2.30am why is the motorway still affected.

Per BBC
Not closed, just busy because people can't get off at that junction. Per BBC
A3 between Burpham and M25 wasn't too bad this morning, I get off at the next junction which is Cobham.
Generally there are snarl ups, particularly on a Monday morning at the BP garage up to the M25 Northbound, people who do that route will know where I mean, I tend to avoid the A3 on a Monday and go through Clandon and Ripley and pick up the A3 at Ripley, saves me about 30 minutes.

M25
Driving + M25 =
Are you insane
I was in west Susse a couple of weeks ago and decided to avoid the motorways on my way back to the Thames Valley. If you're fed up with the M25, try going by the old roads from Littlehampton to anywhere along the first few miles of the M40.M25

I drove past at 6:30 this morning. hard to tell what it was but could have been a 3 series estate or rover 200 estate. The car had clearly hit a parked artic. The artic was in a layby some distance from the main carrigeway. The car had then spun back across the carrigeway. Not a pretty sight.
Looks from the picture on the BBC as if he clipped the rear offside of the lorry with his nearside front wing. Shouldn't have been any protrusion into the driver's side of the cabin of the car, so I'd guess it was the force of the impact or something he his afterwards that did the damage. This A31/M27 closure is ridiculous, I was coming from the eastbound side with 4miles of queues from Ferndown due to gawpers.
The accident is half way down Poulner Hill into Ringwood westbound 16 miles and number of exit points to where they've closed the M27 at junction 2, this leaves around 16 miles of Motorway & dual carriageway completely empty when they could quite easily albeit very slow at rush hour divert at the Junction before the top of Poulner Hill through the Forest into Ringwood and back out on to the A31/A338 junction.
Absolute bonkers, I can't imagine what this is doing to the M3/M27 junction this morning. Overzealous Black & Yellows traffic Hilters.
