The other week I had to drive back from Southampton to Derby area. Decided on the A34 / M40 / M69 / M1 route.
Got on to the A34 and got held up as there were 5 accidents along a single stretch of 10 miles or so. 2 accidents had closed the A34 in 2 places and needed the air ambulance.
A 3hr drive ended up taking just over 5 hours
