I dunno, I can actually applaud what this guy did: Accidents could be cleared faster if drivers weren't such douchebags and clog every single space available in the highway in the hopes of getting home early.

Makes you wonder if he indeed turned down to the police all those plates.

I don't know if you have ever driven on the motorway in England but it is 99.99999999999% congested. Basically this motorway goes the length of the country near enough: Leeds to London. I don't know how long motorways are in the US or how many alternative routes there are but basically there aren't that many in England.

That picture shows the motorway he is stuck on and then you can read the key for yourself. It basically links the North and South of England... and as i'm sure it also happens in the US or Canada or wherever you are from there is a lot of commuters going to London and i wouldn't be surprised if some people commuted from as far out as Leeds so the amount of traffic is understandable. When an accident happens on there, it grinds to a standstill. Everytime i've been on it there has been traffic at least at some part along it.

I think I see the problem. Everybody's driving on the wrong side.

Greg is correct, they do drive on the wrong side, but also I loved when they guy called those people out "so you're going to save someone when they take their last breath?", I know all about congestion living in a city with things split across the river, and not having too many ways back and forth, shit always under construction, and no where near enough lanes or bridges, but blocking the only way to help someone that could be dying, well you're an ass, and ass driving on the wrong side of the road, hehe

Even with so many cars in the emergency lane the road's still completely clogged. Usually you only get the occasional asshole driving in there.

There does seem to be enough lanes in there though so using the shoulder shouldn't be much faster :/
