Slow down, approaching end of year !

I took this photo in the afternoon on 31st Dec as we drove west on M4 then South on M5 through the new 'Managed Motorway' stretch. Obviously at times the hard shoulder is use as an extra lane to relieve congestion, but not at this point on New Years Eve.

Its taken me two days to get to the computer to download it though, so perhaps I should have entitled it ... "Get I the right lane 0 New Year Ahead"

PS I was the passenger not the driver! Also note - by driving west we actually found some blue sky, even if it was watery and washed out!
