M3 Nightmare Continues!

I'm sure there's also many more breakdowns in the holidays as all the cars used only for local runs are put to the test on long motorway journeys. Of course, breakdowns and smart motrways are not IN ANY WAY compatible.
There, fixed that for you! Out of curiosity I was checking last week - the new refuges from J4 to J2 are about 1.5 miles apart! That is a long way with a flat tyre or no coolant!

Sixty to ninety second at normal speeds on a free flowing motorway.......which of course the M3 is, every hour of every day, obviously. Crossflow Kid said:

Well of course - apart from when it isn't! 
Mind you it has improved no end in the last few months to be fair.
But why do they still have a 50 limit with average cameras on the first mile or so when you join it at J2 from the M25 anti-clockwise?

it's only the 12th December, have some people packed in work already?
A lot of them are obviously retired...I was almost wiped off the M25 on Sunday by some dozy git who decided to move into lane 3 just as I was overtaking
Without doubt, more idiots than ever out there!

People are so good at identifying other drivers' faults.

I nearly got wiped out a few times on the M3 from J2 to J4 then M25 to A3 to Tolworth yesterday - the problem as I see it isn't so much retired as retarded!
And that seems to apply to any age group! Eric Mc said:

king idiot and dont trust any of them .Had a nugget driver in a Renault with three passengers turn sharp from lane 2 across my path to exit a slip road so close from the truck cab i could see in the headlights a terrified passengers face looking up as 30 tons was right there at 90 degrees to the car
How that car never got smashed up I never know.
My work mate was in shock as passenger saw it all too, I was just cussing the dimwit death wish driver.
After a few miles he said to me "you never even lifted off or hit the brake " why would I do that and risk a skid and maybe take out passing traffic. better to give that car a dig than swerve and hit another while he drives off like nothing happened.

That wasn't a slight on the retired, just a reason why some of the - ahem - elderly drivers we have to steer around aren't at work.I nearly got wiped out a few times on the M3 from J2 to J4 then M25 to A3 to Tolworth yesterday - the problem as I see it isn't so much retired as retarded!
And that seems to apply to any age group! I'm also finding a lot more young female drivers driving really badly these days.
I'm not picking out any one demographic. Bad drivers come from all of them!

Car rolled between J2 and J3 southbound not long after the M25, so it's very slow.
Top effort...
Looking again at the image, could the HGV have had something to do with it?Top effort...
