So the wife's friend has come back to uk from Dubi so we are off to see them in Swindon.

On the way (On the A31) we got held up by rubberneckers getting a good look at the coach.

   

So I'm sure others get fed up with rubberneckers and could get some good pics of what it was all over.

I wouldn't post pictures of anybody most major accidents where someone is trapped badly hurt etc now seem to have screens put around them which is a great thing.

And I fully understand what you are saying.

Hopefully you don't find my picture inappropriate?

The latest thing is the bobbys using their onboard cameras to film passing traffic, then when they get back to the station review and send every driver who took a photo a ticket!

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

Cheeky but then the driver shouldn't be using their phone driving.

No the cars in front were going slow and as a passenger I was able to take a photo. As a passenger I can look as it doesn't slow traffic down.
