Multiple bottles of #prosecco yeeted into live lanes of #M4 #motorway and a container knocked from a #lorry following a #collision - one lorry #driver #arrested on suspicion of using a #mobilePhone at the wheel. There were only minor injuries, but the clean up will take a good few hours!

Song Of A Road - A Radio Ballad About The Building Of The M1 Motorway by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger, Charles Parker, released on Topic Records in 1999 but broadcast on the BBC Home Service in 1959.

A radio ballad is a sound-tapestry woven of four basic elements: songs, instrumental music, sound effects and the recorded voices of those with whose lives each program deals.

After the relatively contained Ballad of John Axon, the scope of the second radio ballad widened considerably. The construction of Britain's first motor-highway, the M1 or, as it was then known, the London-Yorkshire motorway, then stood at 57 miles of muddy road and a workforce of 19,000 men. From the simple telling of a story, the team now had a much more ambitious subject with its shadowy chronology, complex background and multitudinous tradesmen, labourers, management and administrators.

Good work by #lorry driver - keeping occupants of small car that has broken down on "smart" #motorway safe and calling nines so #Police and #NationalHighways are aware - it took 5 mins on 999 call, and 13 further minutes for National Highways to arrive on scene, and #drivers are barely noticing stationary lorry (further ahead the matrix sign is showing "national speed limit", which suggests there has already been a restriction on previous signs so drivers are likely trying to accelerate to get back to 70mph (112 km/h)

These smart #motorways are not safe (thankfully there are no further ones being built)

🧠 This was when I went to look around Scotland Street School (not knowing it's covered in scaffolding) an saw this view when I wandered a bit and looked the other direction. I thought it was interesting seeing this grand building cut across by motorway bridges.

⭐i tried hard to make the building stand out a bit with editing and thinmk I did an OK job.

➡️Next time I'd try with slower shutter on a tripod to get more motion blue on passing cars.

This man was #driving way too fast on the #m1 #motorway in #Buckinghamshire - he clouted armco of the central reservation and busted front wheel/driveshaft - and carried on driving to a petrol station!

It seems he did not call 999 himself as he was committing a #DUI offence at the time - but was tracked down via #CCTV and brought before Crown #Court - he pleaded guilty and got 22 months in #jail due to the risk caused to other road users (he will likely serve about 8 months of that inside)
