CRASH! AGAIN! Just had a phone call from the missus, blocked west bound. How unusual?
I really don't get it, either West or Eastbound that road is fine, certainly not as bad as the old Seven dials roundabout/junction and the Vague Gyratory "system ". It just seems to be having a lot of bad luck at the moment.
I was quite near the back. Saw the taillghts just after the Portslade turnoffI'm sat in the queue right now. Been completely stationary for a while now, and seen at least three fire engines, two ambulances and four police cars go past. I imagine I'll be here for some time
Its peoples inability to drive at a reasonable speed and negotiate a curves in the road at the same time. Thats the reason Handcross Hill has been dug up for the last few years.

If cars collided in the tunnel then someone must have pulled out on someone else attempting an overtake. At least that's my theory anyway.....
And you're not allowed to change lanes in the tunnel, there's signs up before you enter telling you so, so hopefully someone will have their wrists slapped and get done for dangerous driving.
I don't think that's the main reason for all the crashes. If anything it's people driving unreasonably slow in the left lane as you go round the corner because they're shitting themselves, which in turn causes other drivers to try make what can be a tricky overtaking manoeuvre into much faster traffic in the right lane.
