I was delayed on the M25 clockwise yesterday because of an accident on the anti-clockwise section.
Why don’t they put screens up?
This would speed traffic in both directions as people pass.
Seriously!
In fact accidents have been caused as people come to an abrupt halt because of it.

I’m sure there could be / is a website where people can look at car crashes to their heart’s content.

Where??

I was driving to work a few weeks ago and there was an accident or some other medical emergency at a bus stop. There were a lot of police present, indicating it might have been a crime scene too. The bus shelter had blankets up to screen whatever had happenned.

Screening the scene of an accident is a good idea if it doesn’t interfere with the rescue operation.
