Normally not easy to make progress due to weight or traffic in congestion.
However today was very clear. Thing is I was in the slow lane 90 -100 leptons and apart from trucks I was the slowest car on the road. And I mean passing me with a good 10-20 mph difference.

The odd corsa too screaming it's little guts out.

Only bacon on route J8/9 traffic monitoring.
Oh well j10-j2 20 mins is good going commuting

Enjoyed blasting the motorways myself this morning. Almost as quite as a weekend out there.

Still the normal standard of lane discipline of course.

One thing that hit home driving my car 330d is it's truely designed to do that mile after mile in pretty much silence perfect.

I did smile when I saw the 1.2 corsa being clearly driven to effectively max speed on the mway probably in his mind racing others while fact is everyone going about their business.

One car a blue Audi tts was truely flying looked good but poor driving ie jogging fast lane when for long distances in front middle and slow empty... Still he wasn't holding anyone up

Traffic in London today is non-existent too. Never ever have I had such a quick hop into work, even in the Xmas period last year.

I'm in all next week sadly cannot WFH in this instance however I'm hoping traffic will mirror today.
Now can I do J10-J2 in 15 mins??? Or is that a little risky
