In the short term, expect more chaos. In the long term, hope for better, smarter roads. But until then—be prepared for the unexpected. Assume your journey will take twice as long. It’s annoying, yes, but it’s better than crying in a lay-by.
So next time you hear about “M25 incidents,” don’t just roll your eyes. Take it as a gentle nudge to pack your patience, download a good podcast, and accept that the universe may want you to stare at a hedge for two hours today. You’re not alone—we’re all in that slow-moving, cue-ridden club together.
Drive safe, and may your fuel tank be full and your bladder be empty.
