M4 Welsh traffic jam this afternoon

Spotted on the M4 this afternoon in a 20-minute traffic jam - this is a screenshot from the Wales OnLine website:

My Stag is in the middle lane behind a van with checkered rear doors, partially obscured by the black van in the outer lane! Once the traffic got moving the red Volvo estate to my left cut me up to get into the middle lane.

looks like an old 940 or 960 could be wrong, dont have a volvo. I hope you doffed your cap and that he was polite enough to remove his tobacco pipe before responding

2 million collected for kerb crawling.

Wales introduced a 20mph limit on the motorway too then

No problem for me in Wales then - until I have time to fix the inlet manifold leak my Stag is only mobile if I push it, don't think I could get it up to 20 mph

Rebate on tax for being stuck.
Rebate on tax for not being on fire.

20 mph wasn’t achievable all - 0 mph was reality.

Judging by the number of unmarked Police cars and the ‘Hummer’ type vehicle that I saw had been rolled, I’d say it was a drugs bust.

One good thing was that Mabel took it all in her stride and didn’t grumble or overheat. And when we’d passed the car wreck she picked up her heels and swept back to Bristol at full speed…..
