Programmes like these alays look good from the outside but the inside their disasters waiting to happen.

Most of the problems are down to driving numpties who can't even stay on the road, let alone see obvious things such as traffic cones, and great big FO flashing lights. I think that's the message of the programme.

Perhaps it's time people were held personally responsible if their poor judgement that results in hours of delays for thousands of other road users. Prison is too good for them.
