Motorway madness
I can understand traffic jams in towns and cities at traffic lights, roundabouts etc, but why and how do you get them on motorways (apart from an accident when the road is blocked or road works when there are speed restrictions and lane closures). Why do you get traffic jams due to “heavy traffic”, surely there must be something at the front of this queue of traffic, or am I just being thick? (please don’t answer that!) Going back “up country” to visit the parental units on Friday I was crawling on the M5 for what seemed no apparent reason, apart from the amount of traffic, but where did it begin? Someone somewhere must just decide, “ ah, I must drive really slowly, because I can! Then motorway traffic jams will be achieved mwhaaaaaa!” It just really puzzles and annoys me. Anyone got any answers?

well what happens is that people drive to close together so one person slows down the next person brakes move and then does the next until someone has to stop
:
each person braking more than the one in front leading to a queue very annoying if people left more space we would be ok or just not slow down in the first place
Thanks for that Tom, I shall know that for next time.
