finally, a decent idea by the highways agency. screens to hide crash sites on mways

now, all they have to do is sell all those 4x4's & buy double cab beaver tail transits for those pretend coppers to drive in, oh, and train them up as recovery men too instead of them being mobile roadblocks

using a photo of it clearly not working, another 2.3 million down the drain

[therealnovaboy]

it wont work. people will still look to see whats going on. ts a natural instinct. They still miss the point that they should spend the money on fixing poorly drained, bad surfaces and over populated roads that cause 90 percent of the crashes.

agreed

[Lewis.]

Oh fantastic, another obstacle to have to maneuver a recovery vehicle around in the dark, as if the police cars/ambulances/fire appliances aren't bad enough When roadside, I'd prefer to see the out of control motorist coming towards me, and not work effectively blind. So much for not turning your back on the traffic, it's behind a bloody curtain!

I was driving at 70 on the clear side of a motorway and a crash was on the other side, the car in front slams on the brakes for a look so I braked and kept my horn pressed for ages every cop must of turned round

Mostly these sheets are deployed at fatal crash sites when the motorway is closed, we have had them up here for 2 years but hardly use them, I've been told its not so much to stop rubbernecking but to prevent trauma to passing drivers from seeing mangled human remains and to try and avoid pictures being taken.

[Stuart]

Tbh showing mangled human remains to cretin rubberneckers might be the inspiration needed to make most people drive less like bell ends.

[bazil]

Yeah but the bogus claims for stress and trauma caused to the passing motorist is the reason behind this too, ****s will claim for anything these days,

[Stuart]

Iffy companies are making people claim... If it weren't for them, then leaving gore on show would be a good lesson
