At the risk of having every TMer having a pop at me, is this something we should be having a vote on? Surely it's too important to be so trivial?
in know its silly.
I am just interested in people's opinion of the HAs ability to handle a crisis.
Ah, the Highways Agency bless 'em.
Pre-austerity days they used to have 'journey time' targets set and were measured against them. These days, there's probably only half a dozen left in London. The Traffic Officers out on the roads do everything by the book. They cone off and await recovery, which is usually stressed as they have to fight through miles of tailback to reach the breakdown.
They are specifically banned from towing a breakdown to the hard shoulder for both H&S and litigation from insurances, and so we all fume because Shazzer from Basildon didn't renew her key fob battery in the immobiliser or something equally trivial.
I'll be very surprised if anything happens this side on Tuesday..
