that turns your average motorway user into a suicidal maniac?

It's like a demolition derby!

Travelling down the M6 yesterday at 17.30 ish & I've never seen anything like it... well, since last Friday that is. It's as if everyones had their brain unplugged about lunchtime!

I'd love to know if there are accident statistics comparing Fridays with the rest of the week.

    I know. I won't use the M6 on a Friday if I can help it, I go northbound.
    I used the M1 to get to the A50.
    It was mayhem there just past Leicester, I got off at Junction 22 as I couldn't stand it any more, and used empty country lanes with no loss of time :)

    The RAC Foundation say that more people are killed and seriously injured in car accidents at 5.00pm on a Friday than at any other time during the week.

    To be honest I'd be amazed if this wasn't the case!

    I spend my working week trundling up & down the motorways & there are always examples of bad driving but this is multiplied x1000 on Fridays, it's come to the point where I dread going to work on a Friday!
