Just wondering if anyone was held up in traffic on the a1m southbound between welwyn and st albans this morning.

Some traffic cop decided a 35mph rolling road block was needed all the way down from welwyn north. Fortunately I was only a few cars back but could see it starting to concertina behind me.

I figured it must have been something serious but no. A smart car had a blow out in the tunnel and ended up facing the RIGHT way on the HARD SHOULDER.

No one else was on the scene and there was no breakdown trucks there so it's not like he was giving someone time to move it off the road.

Just seemed a bit overkill to me.

Been late every morning this week, that's the 3rd incident in the tunnel. I'd never heard of one before monday.

Perhaps they were clearing debris or looking for a possible cause?
