Eventually, the lanes will reopen. The wreckage will be cleared, and traffic will resume at a crawl. But the emotional scars will remain. You will look at a roundabout differently. You will flinch every time you see brake lights. The M25 has claimed another victim.
So, what’s the lesson here? Honestly, there isn’t one. The M25 is a monster that feeds on your time and patience. Today’s crash is just a reminder that in the battle between man and motorway, the motorway always wins. Now go check your travel insurance, champ.
