Or just about any motorway at any time. The M4 is always mad with traffic to and from Bristol/Wales to and from London. The M40 for the Midlands to/from London. The M5/M6 junction around Birmingham. Listening to the traffic reports there is almost always an accident during rush hour on at least one of them. If it is not an accident then road works (M25, M3 to M40 junctions at present) where the motorway is forever being widened. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
