The M25 closed down this weekend – I wish it would happen more often

The Telegraph  

“Traffic is building” the post reads. Someone comments: “That’s not building; it is moving at an appropriate speed for those roads.” “It’s a 30mph and they’re doing 10mph and this was stop/start,” SkyShark replies testily. Sunday 11am I head to buy a paper and run into the group of middle-aged Lycra-clad male cyclists who meet in the café by the high street every weekend and head off into the Surrey Hills on their expensive carbon fibre bikes. Wish it was like that more often.” Fifteen minutes later I pass them in my 4x4 as I head to Box Hill along empty roads. “Traffic is building,” National Highways South East retweets.
