A lorry crashed on the M6 motorway (freeway is U.S parlance) in the early
hours of this mourning, It said on the news that it cost business millions
of pounds due to the enourmous delays. Why does it take 8 hours to re-open a
motorway? That's a third of a day, just to move a damaged lorry and it's
load off the carrigeway. I reckon it's because the police insist in
documenting every aspect of the crash. Surely there's a better way to deal
with a crash where people don't have to suffer the disruption and sit in
traffic jams for hours?

| Well, I'm not a copper, but I do deal with motor claims for an Insurance company, and there are a lot of factors to take into account: Was anybody injured? Was anybody killed? Was there any spillage? Was there much debris on the road? Was there a (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
