I am sure this grates most people the now regular motorway incidents and then delays. Is it a shortage of motorway police stretched too far or simply a malaise of a system where there is no incentive to clear the issue as fast as possible.
I have seen the police in the US manage accidents and they seem to be so more pragmatic. One example is a broken down coach in the middle lane. The officers parked their car behind the coach set up flairs about 50 yards further back and let traffic filter around the coach.
In the UK we would have closed the whole motorway and then waited 2 hours until the recovery truck could arrive.
