Conversely I used the M3 on Monday night and it worked perfectly. 70mph, down to 50mph then down to 40mph. Left hand lane showing big red X, people moved over and slowed down. Passed stricken car on left hand lane. Afterwards back up to speed.
Why does everyone have to slow down to 40 cos of a broken down car? What a load of s

Doesnt the M40 head roughly east west in parallel to the A40 rather than north south?

The M40 doesn't go anywhere near London.
It begins near Denham which is in South Bucks beyond the Greater London boundary.
Only the first couple of miles to the westbound slip road off the M25 run east to west.
After than it runs on a general south east to north west axis to the M42.
There are only a few stretches which actually run south to north.

Inside the M25 makes it near London for most purposes.It begins near Denham which is in South Bucks beyond the Greater London boundary.

If the driver approached J7 along the A329 from the south-west, he may have misread this sign to turn right for the M40. The sign refers to the legitimate turn for the M40, which is over the bridge and some some distance ahead, yet seems to be positioned directly opposite the M40 exit at J7. If he did make this turn, he still managed to ignore at least 4 no entry signs, several give way and turn arrows facing the wrong way, cross three lanes of oncoming traffic to enter the motorway, and then drive at speed for some distance before the crash. It's shocking how detached from reality he must have been.
Isnt the main issue the sign points you down the slip road?

Whoever designed that should be charged with manslaughter. Get it moved 50 meters along urgently.
Scandalous and misleading.
Its not just that it points down there, you can see in the near right of the photo, the lane for traffic emerging from the motorway.Scandalous and misleading.
Where the sign points is naturally where youd expect to turn right to go down to join it

Clear sign before this one suggests how to negotiate the junction. Best not post that one, it's not good for the drama.
Excuses, excuses excuses................ffs.
This one Excuses, excuses excuses................ffs.
Even so, further along, you might think the sign shown earlier is the one to believe
or is the no entry that little turn on the right

At the end of the day excuses have been provided to exonerate any blame from those that need the excuse, I feel so bad for the family of the poor driver that was killed.
It appears that nothing more than assumption around cancer overrides everything. Oh, and I say that as someone currently undergoing treatment so I'm not being disrespectful,it affects each in many different and callous ways..... however there are clearly several very major stages before the impact that would require nuclear levels of "confusion" over sometime, but hey, I'm not the paid expert.
Seems the diagnosis suits the insurance providers and absolves the local highways in one go........
