I am always mystified by being stuck in a long slow moving queue of traffic on a motorway, only to reach to the top of that queue and behold...an open road ahead and the traffic flows along nicely - what could have caused the huge delay? The common denominator of these situtations seems to be either a crash on the other side of the road(in many cases nothing dramatic, just a rear ending), a flashing blue light or someone changing a tyre or somesuch.
The road is not impeded by the occurence, but drivers are still slowing down and having a good auld gawk at what's going on. Meanwhile those of us who don't feel the need, have to wait in a long slow moving line. It happened yesterday just outside Naas. A lovely big slow 15 minute queue from the Esso at Kill to just past the Naas Exit (i.e. just past the occurence) and then free flowing after that.
is there anything that can be done to stop the gawkers, it is especially irritating if it's merely someone changing as tyre!
