Why?

Because neither you nor Boltar know what you are talking about.

Yeah, thats right Kev. We see roads closed for no good reason time
and again yet "we don't know what we're talking about".

The reason that you don't know what you are talking about is because you
simply do not know *why* the road was closed do you? You *think* you know -
and you *presume* to know - but you don't. So you are talking from a point
of ignorance.

I might not
be a car
mechanic but I know if a garage has my car in for 3 days to change
the oil then someone is taking the ****. Same goes for plods. I might
not be a policeman but if 4 lanes out of 5 are closed, there is no
debris and little damage to the vehicle in question then its plainly
obvious the jobsworth mentality is in full force with the traffic
plods that day.

See above. You cannot possibly *know* what is going on at an accident scene
from merely driving slowly past it.
