Weekly moan
focijohn - 2/12/08 at 06:41 PM

Has anyone noticed the closer it gets to Christmas the number of retarded drivers has shot up. Not only are they incapable of using indicators, giving way at all at roundabouts, and when they are on it they insist on using both lanes to apex it in rush hour and also not having any bloody idea how big there cars are. The gaps they leave you would expect them to be in command of a challenger 2 tank. I also had today an old girl in a metro, who decided to turn the give way into a flaming slip road... i mean come on.

Anyway back to my box

Was in a big queue on the A10 this morning, wasn't pleased when I found a truck was leaving a 10-15 car gap in front. So I spent 10mins waiting for him to pull forward far enough that I could take my turn off (1min to work from there).

I think it's the weather rather than Christmas. Just waiting for the first snowy morning so I can see all the cars in the ditches (just hope I don't end up in one now )

Coming up to the Milton roundabout over the A14 by any chance?

At the north entrance to Milton where it splits off to the left rather than the roundabout. The queue started at the Waterbeach barracks traffic lights this morning.

I just thank random deities I don't have to cross the roundabout to get to the science park.

Might be worth going through Waterbeach and Horningsea then onto the A14 to the Milton roundabout, depending on what time you start work as the lights on the roundabout tend to favour the A14? and only a couple of miles further

I'll give that a go next time it's busy. I've tried going through Landbeach but that just gets blocked up with other people trying to avoid the jam.
