Default Bloody traffic police at accidents

Some accidents on the M25 and A40 this morning basically gridlocked most
of west
london thanks to plod taking their own sweet time to clear up the scene..
Does
it really warrant closing a major road for 3 bloody hours (and counting)
just
to take notes of a car crash? Once the casualties have been ferried away ,
take some photos and push the vehicles onto the side of the road until
they
can be towed away. What is the bloody problem with plod in this country?
Why
does even a modest accident have to be a ****ing "crime scene"? Have they
really got nothing else better to do with their time?


It's impatience like that that causes accidents.


Nobody has yet said why our police need a substantial amount of hours
to accomplish what foreign police manage in usually about an hour? The
quality of proof to gain a conviction in say the Netherlands is just
as stringent as in the UK so why the delays?
