M5 again

Another lorry has parked itself on the M5 crash barrier . Third lane closed both directions between Thornbury and Stroud.

Bloody hell thats the same section 3 times in less than a week :open_mouth:

We need pictures so the experts can tell us how it happened.

Let lose the TNCSI conspiracy theory team

Don’t forget the flour tanker that went over about 6 weeks ago on Jtn 14…

Maybe that section is a bit like the Bermuda Triangle enter it at your peril . :open_mouth:

Well it is in Gloucestershire [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Apparently he’s straddling the armco barrier so at least he didn’t go through it !!

Just proves that our crash barriers aren’t really fit for purpose…

But the previous incidents haven’t been so lucky have they?

Only the rigid at the weekend went through down there.

It would be nice to have the concrete like on many European motorways I agree, but seeing as we can’t even afford to turn on all the streetlamps on many sections of motorway, that will never happen.

The old A38 pre motorway in the area was a death trap with the centre lane for overtaking in both directions ( what muppet thought of that ) but the M5 is doing its best to rival it.

When the A38 was first designed and build, there was so much less traffic. Lorries had a maximum speed only just in double figures, and the few cars and lorries about managed to co-exist much better than today.
