people exiting a motorway and then getting straight back on...
on my morning commute I exit the motorway and there's 4 exits which can be taken - left, services, back on m'way or right (which is actually two exits). I turn right.
almost every day for the past few weeks I've seen vehicles who've exited the m'way just go back onto the m'way.
No suggestion that they've got the wrong turning - late indication, confusion on the roundabout etc - just straight off and straight on again.
two cars and a small van this morning - didn't appear to be in convoy but all went straight over and back on.
it really annoys me that they're wasting their time and fuel and my time by being in queues etc
Maybe there's a common Satnav related foible at that junction that makes people think they're being directed off only to realise the error and pop straight back on?on my morning commute I exit the motorway and there's 4 exits which can be taken - left, services, back on m'way or right (which is actually two exits).

Cheeky !!
could be a sat nav problem but it could only be an accident or some such - the road has been in current format for about 30 years

That should definitely be two wordsJapanese; hara - belly and kiru - to cut.

Before you eat your sidearm Frank perhaps you could reacquaint yourself with correct quotation mark usage? Just a slip, I'm sure... .

Honestly, I don't know. That means I can't put that one penny into a savings account in my own era. By the end of time, the operation of compound interest would've paid the cost of a fabulous meal at Milliway's - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
You're making the mistake of using the calculated value of your investment over the time betwixt here and the end and applying that to the Miliway's menu at current 2020 pricing which in of itself is somewhat dichotomous because said restaurant doesn't yet exist/have ceased to exist/popped back over the brink into existence again. Save for an assumption of time itself being non-linear in which case said restaurant may well currently simultaneously exist and not exist depending which end you're coming from. The problem with that being that unless you can send your savings account through a tear in spacetime to accumulate value in an alternative dimension then back again into the here and now at its new value, even if you could warp spacetime sufficiently to make the trip to MIlliway's/make Milliway's make the trip to you (avoiding the usual build-up of traffic on the hyperspace expressway which has to some degree been exacerbated by a convoy of slow-moving Vogons headed here for purposes as yet unknown), effectively you're pissing in the wind, mate. Best to just get blind drunk and forget about it.DRFC1879 said:

if there was a traffic hold up to avoid then i could understand but this if free flowing motorway at 70+

If it was a case of fast moving traffic my tyres would be glued to the M25.could be a sat nav problem but it could only be an accident or some such - the road has been in current format for about 30 years
