@RobertT84256698 @kevswt1 @HighwaysSWEST @Glos_Police Traffic was shielded from the incident, to let people past so they weren’t stuck, also it takes time to get the correct people where they need to be, and yes the investigations start immediately. So pipe down

@kevswt1 @HighwaysSWEST @Glos_Police Traffic was being released past the scene an hour and a half before the start of investigations was announced, which would not have happened while ambulance and fire crews were still working.

The #M5 in #Gloucestershire is closed northbound between J11 #Cheltenham and J9 #Tewkesbury following an @Glos_Police led incident. There is approx. 2 miles of congestion on approach. The carriageway is likely to remain closed for some time. Diversion info to follow.

@AcPingu @2SevernBridges Lift your tin foil hat off and step outside, then re-evaluate your opinion on the weather 👍

@2SevernBridges Liars. Its not even windy.

The #M48 #SevernBridge in #SouthGloucestershire is closed in both directions between J1 (#Aust) and J2 (#Chepstow) due to strong winds. More information via the link here - nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

@CopOfTheNorth Quite a few of our managers use it. Keeps them off the higher tax bracket and much cheaper than personal lease

@AutoInfatuation You can fool them, just reset. For the cost id carry out a service for peace of mind. Especially considering his behaviour

Well it’s nowhere near fully charged but just started on the button with no hesitation as I became impatient. Showing up a few faults, although I got rid of the classic 4x4 system one with the ol’ full lock to full lock trick I remember from our old E53 X5 😉 Provided you can’t fool these systems the guy selling it said he had it serviced in the last few months, which the car is also agreeing with 🔧🤔 Comfort heated seats, blowers, iDrive, electric folding mirrors, electric steering wheel and even the pan roof are all fully working still so that’s a touch 😆

@AutoInfatuation Exactly what I’m looking for

The past two days I’ve actively been looking for a new car to pick up this weekend. I’ve enquired about 3x X350/358 Jaguar XJ’s. None of which were as described in the adverts once I began talking to the sellers. Proper jobs that needed doing being left out. Two Jaguar X-Types, one seller looked at my message and ignored me the other wasn’t willing to do a deal at all despite the car being way overpriced. Was a nice 3.0 AWD Estate though. A W211 Mercedes E280 that went nowhere. Two P2 Volvo XC90’s, one the seller ignored two of my messages despite me offering him full price 🤷‍♂️ and the other I tried to do a deal be he was convinced he’ll get his asking price by this time next week so wished him the best of luck. So naturally I’ve bought another high spec, older BMW, subject to my 4hr train journey down to get it tomorrow that is 🚆 Bus replacement is on from Peterborough to Kings X though so no first class for me with LNER unfortunately 🎻

@lee_outram @WiltsSpecOps Of course not, but their primary role is roads. In the same way a dog handlers primary role is where a dog is required 👍 same as a heart doctor specialises in hearts rather than colds

@chris610_4 @WiltsSpecOps So working off that fact of if they witness a robbery taking place or any other non road crime they stand back cos they only police the roads??

#WiltsRPU - 1st of the day: an overweight car carrier. Rated for 3500kg, stopped at 3810kg. £100 penalty issued, plus £80 release fee once brought under weight.

@lee_outram @WiltsSpecOps Your hat being across your eyes means you’ve missed the ‘roads’ policing bit. Perhaps some of your own advice……

@WiltsSpecOps Must be a light crime day in Wiltshire.. sure very victim of burglary, theft and physical violence in your county will be made up with your dedication to catching a truck 10% overweight!! Then you wonder why the public have totally lost faith in you!! Open your eyes

@mastesallan @cleanupbritain @NationalHways @NatashaLeake So what you’re saying is they’re parking up on the network so they can respond in the fastest, safest manor, doing extra work in a car instead of being sat in an office?! I agree, pay rises and medals all round!! How about you arrange a ride out and see what they actually do?

@cleanupbritain @NationalHways @NatashaLeake National Highways Traffic Officers are a disgrace too so many sat in hiding places on laptops or just sleeping

It's a scandal that there are tens of thousands of metal frames, signs, cones and sandbags needlessly discarded by @NationalHways and their unaccountable contractors. Tens of millions of pounds being left, abandoned, by the side of the road... @NatashaLeake

@A1GOY RE performance, Rick is a wizard. Their YouTube channel is really interesting

Last press car of the year is a big Skoda. But not ANY big Skoda. Points awarded if you know why it’s special (none awarded if you’re one of the people who’ve put some of the 21k miles on it tho…).

@2SevernBridges Footpath is open, go and stand on it in the middle then decide if you think it’s windy

The #M48 #SevernBridge is closed in both directions between J1 (#Aust) and J2 (#Chepstow) due to strong winds. Traffic being diverted via #M4 #PrinceOfWalesBridge nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

@tazminjaneco @DJSnudge @2SevernBridges Are you naturally stupid or have you trained for it?

@DJSnudge @2SevernBridges It’s continuous bullshit from them, they just close the bridge cause they’re too fucking lazy to do their job properly! They’ll close it around 20knts, they find it’s easier to cause major traffic delays for everyone and blame it on safety. Same like the off and on bullshit!

Due to forecasted strong winds, the #M48 @2SevernBridges will be closed both ways after midnight, and is expected to remain closed throughout Monday 1st Dec (tomorrow). Road users are advised to divert using the M4 #PrinceOfWales bridge. For live info; nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

@Matt_Pinner Heat

What's missing 🤔

@ListerLawrence Ah arse. If it’s just the casing cracked and the core is good (bore scope will needed to check the core) no reason you couldn’t weld it up. Main dealers won’t entertain it but any decent welder can give you a factory finish and get you back on the road for much less and faster

@chris610_4 It’s cracked I’m afraid.

DPF HELP: I need a DPF filter for my L405 2017 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 with ad blue. JLR are quoting £4700 but it’s on back order with no date on delivery. Can’t find any aftermarket ones - can anyone point me in the right direction please?

@Martinhenry42 @HighwaysSWEST That would be people doing it themselves. Bans for all

@HighwaysSWEST Who made the decision to send cars back up the dual carriageway (the wrong way) blocking access for emergency services?

The #A30 in #Devon is CLOSED westbound between the #A377 near #Exeter and the #A382 near #WhiddonDown due to a serious collision involving an overturned van. Due to the nature of the incident, the road is likely to be closed throughout the evening. More to follow.

@Mattisamazing33 It’s a push to talk button for the comms radio less obvious as these

This is an ex CID one owner Golf R, and I want to know what this knob does???? autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…

@standingtraffic @pdbsba @HighwaysSWEST I’d hazard a guess, probably not😂

@pdbsba @chris610_4 @HighwaysSWEST Wait, wait, wait.... Are you talking about setting up a contraflow? Have you any remote concept of just how long that would take to set up and remove?

UPDATE #M5 northbound from J30 #Exeter to J29 #Honiton #Devon ROAD CLOSED Due to a lorry fire. The lorry was transporting batteries and domestic appliances which is why it is taking so long to bring under control. Diversion: nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates… 45 min delay J31-J30.

@pdbsba @HighwaysSWEST As I thought, you’ve no idea nor experience in it. Let the grown ups deal with it please, and stay off the internet

@chris610_4 @HighwaysSWEST It’s basic management 101. Hazardous waste, major infrastructure interference is all modelled and pre planned for training. 30miles, 3hrs 40minutes and average 8mph is a failure. If only RnR transport were liable for the cost to the local economy. This event failed basic RAMS

@pdbsba @HighwaysSWEST And what ‘crisis management’ experience do you have? I’ve yet to find a pre planned ‘crisis’

@chris610_4 @HighwaysSWEST No it’s not competence. Crisis management and hazardous waste logistics is pre planned. It’s a failure to shut down the entire network. This vital piece Of infrastructure needs adequate resources and competence. Just divert 2 lanes on m5 southbound.

@pdbsba @HighwaysSWEST They have, the public are now safe, the people working there are as safe as they can be. Fire will be lead as it’s, well a fire. They are the experts, less so people on the internet who might have to wait abit

@HighwaysSWEST Pure incompetence, This is 2025. You still have to manage traffic
