Default Anyone get stuck before beckton on the A13 tonight???

I did.... Car in front of me decided to swap lanes rather quickly.... IDIOT never noticed the bike beside him..... The biker went from outside lane to inside crash barrier without hitting another car luckily but the barrier must have hurt tho.... Luckily just a broken arm...

Im amazed at how many PPL just drove straight past altho the biker HADN't moved after falling to the ground in the gutter.. I went straight across all 3 lanes and parked blocking the inside lane to make sure... Carted off to hospital but all ok kinda...

Thats one of the reasons why I don't think I'll ever ride a bike again.

Plus, I know too many people who have lost thier life's

Seems that way mate, So they shut the tunnel in the end...I came along just before 6 which in when it must have just happened as i slipped off the junction as the traffic backed up and darted round the roundabout back towards the limehouse link before any trouble....

yes mate, must have been a nasty one though. Have looked on the traffic site and it's closed for "accident investigation"
