M25 Motorway near Byfleet (2) Anyone familiar with Douglas Adams' book "The Meaning of Liff", which is basically a dictionary of words for which no words exist, will instantly recognise the traffic here manoeuvring into a classic 'grimbister' formation where everyone stays behind the police van (with the double rear windows) travelling at 60 mph, too scared to overtake just in case...     

Anyway this is looking anti-clockwise and in the direction of Junction 10 from the Murray's Lane bridge.
