At least they are only delaying themselves and not creating crash hazards

"Commuters are facing frustration on their way to work with delays of up to
three hours.


An accident on the M25 has led to long tailbacks on the northbound carriage
with delays stretching all the way from Reigate to Orpington.


Two-hour delays are also being reported on the M23 London bound between
junction nine at Gatwick Airport and junction 7 at the Hooley Interchange
because of the problems on the M25.


The M25 at junction 8 is likely to stay closed for most of the morning to
clear up spilled diesel and carriageway repairs."

Relevance to URC : nil


Simple ****wit score : 7/10


Only 7/10? Or is that because he is actually just pretending to be Doug,
in gloating at others' misfortune. And as has been stated, the
non-motorway roads in the vicinity were far, far busier than normal,
which surely increases the risk of accidents all round. Own goal,
methinks (again, just like Doug).- Hide quoted text -

I was not gloating - I was merely commenting that drivers who spill
diesel usually create a slip hazard for cyclists.
At least they are wallowing in their own mess for a change.

You don't think perhaps that (nearly all) the drivers that were badly
affected were not the same people as the driver(s) who spilt the diesel?

You wouldn't be making the same mistake as the cheerless prat by any
chance i.e. doing the one therefore all fallacy.
