very odd accident - m62 eastbound, goole exit
Discussion
One of those on my way to work this morning. Small escort/astra type van on it's side (looked like it'd been on it's roof). Dead straight bit of road with hedges at both sides before meeting M62 at Rothwell/Wakefield exit.
I wondered how they had managed that on a straight bit of road.
Maybe it's BRAKE faking some "accidents" to stop the rollback of scameras?

Junction 36 I am thinking of which is the goole turn off I think? they park at the top of teh slip roads either side.
I work in Hull a couple of times a week but dont usualy have to get there early in the morning.
They were there last week(westbound slip) which is a real pain because that stretch of motorway is empty mid mornin/afternoon so even though I set my cruise control I automatically creep over when there are empty lanes in front of me.
Do you look in your mirrors for police when you go past a motorway slip road? because at twice a week to Hull thats four times I go past those slips roads and I see them there at least once every week I would say mybe its teh 40k miles a year I do mostly up and down the 62 which makes it feel like I see them all the time.
You have been warned

I always though it was my lightening reactions on the brakes that has saved me. They are probably asleep
there are a few hiding they places they like on teh M62 west of the M18 a few bridges have little roads next to them (blind side) which they park in east and west bound. Also west bound there is a point where the hard shoulder goes really wide at the beginging of it they can reverse back a bit and are invisible as you approach.

At Goole? Blimey, lived here for nearly 7 years and I've never seen them parked there yet!Thing is, if your speed is 'sufficiently greater than their acceleration', they apparently can't get a clock on you before the J37 exit
