Motorway - Life in the fast lane
This series (docu) has been a real eye opener, the work these folk do to keep the motorways running through hazardous conditions, accidents etc was shocking at times.The men and women that do this rotten job are fab !
(Think they get overlooked in the appreciation stakes)

Re: Motorway - Life in the fast lane
Although I havent seen any of this I dont really need to as I work in a Regional Control Centre for The Highways Agency as an Off Road Traffic Officer. Its our job to either Dispatch On Road Officers to Incidents or Answer calls coming in and make outgoing calls or set signs and signals on the Motorways. Its normally a very hectic time with so much going on and we see a lot of what is happening via the CCTV cameras we have .Tonight Im working on a nightshift 'at break at the moment' and so far it has not been too busy.
Only 4 hours to go, lets hope it stays this way ! !
