Will do. Mind you, we may have ended up in Southampton or Central London.
The traffic wasn't moving for anyone. Plus I could not be arsed with the whole appealing a ticket thing.

They were exceptional circumstances. Gridlock. And all it turned out to be was a short run of temporary roadworks lights. Unfugging- believable!
I'm sure there was increased volume going that way due to 10 & 11 being closed on the M25.
As for 20mph zones - I had no trouble sticking to 22mph.

As well as the M25 being shut, major roads in Surrey were closed due to an oil spill from a fuel tanker that resulted in emergency new road surfacing.

Says the guy who doesn't know the Highway Code. (rule 174).
Rule 174....yes of course....it was right there in my minds eye...honest.
I'd still do the same again. I wouldn't want the hassle, 174 or otherwise.
Nonsense.

Better to block those wanting to go ahead or left, because they can't get past the guy turning right who wont make the turn

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured; according to data reported in the Garundia
Trumpton sounds like a fine place to live...

Government officials have urged caution in attributing the fall in casualties to the 20mph limit.
The Welsh government's chief statistician said in a blog last year that at least three year's worth of collision data would be required for a meaningful comparison to be made.
Casualty figures have also been on a downward trend for sometime - the Welsh government said they have "declined steadily over the last decade".

Correct data here:

Collisions on the increase.
It’s always good to check the actual facts.
The number of casualties on 20 and 30mph roads (combined) is 24% lower than in the same quarter in 2023 (584) and 17% higher than in the previous quarter (379 (r))
