    For the past 3 months I've been commuting to work up and down the M50 five days a week.

    I've lost track of how many stupid accidents have held me up and delayed me by half an hour to an hour.

    Going to work on Monday morning there was a 3 car collision southbound near the Red Cow which caused a 45 minute tailback all the way up to the Blanchardstown exit. Got to work 40 mins late.

    Today another accident coming home Northbound, a car got rear ended causing massive taffic delays, got home 30mins later than usual due to a massive tail back. - same thing happened last week aswell.

    This has happended on so many occasions I have lost track. Why can't people watch where they're going for Gods sake :mad: - its very frustrating.

    .... If it's not massive tailbacks due to idiots crashing from not paying attention, it's people bottlenecking to gawk at somebody changing a tyre! - Keep moving FFS!!! unbelievable.

    rant over :rolleyes:

    No one in the country is taught how to drive on a motorway so its likely to be happening a lot :(

    I've started going to gym around 7:30 in the morning now to avoid the traffic. Everything works out great for me that way, I just regret not doing it sooner !

    I often havea smug grin when I see everyone else arrive at 8:30-9 queuing to get in.
