A20 reopened after overnight closure
 |
| The scene on the A20. Photo by Colin Douglas |
THE A20 reopened this morning after being closed due to two incidents yesterday.
The motorway was closed in both directions between Crittalls Corner and the M25 overnight after a lorry overturned and spilled diesel on the road.
An HGV carrying bottles of cola was travelling in the London bound direction when it hit the central reservation and overturned on the coast bound carriageway near the Swanley Interchange at 3.50pm yesterday.
As a result lanes two and three were blocked.
Oil and diesel from the HGV spilled on all three lanes of the London bound road, causing that to close.
Diversions were put in place and the Essex helicopter was deployed to assist with the situation.
By 16.55pm there was no obvious problem and traffic was moving around the incident.
Resurfacing work was carried out during the night and the road reopened at about 5am today.
At Junction 1 of the A20 - the junction with the M25 at Swanley - a motorcycle was involved in a collision at 5.30pm yesterday.
Please come back to this story for more details on these two incidents, as they become available.

The roads are so dangerous these days. I will never learn to drive and will instead stick to my bicycle and ride it on the pavement and I don't care that I was 38 yesterday!

Why did the lorry driver crash into the central reservation?
Was he on his mobile or falling asleep at the wheel ???

He was probably doing both Niki and looking at his sat nav.
Motorists often criticise cyclists but in my experience the two-wheelers are they safest people on, or like me, off the road.
Get on yer bikes!

For example cyclists are supposed to ride in single file when in a group, but they usually always double or triple up taking up road space going too slowly. This is what causes motorists to overtake and generally is more dangerous. Another one is riding too far out in the road holding up traffic causing jams.
I'm all for cycling, but if you can't be bothered to pass the cycling proficiency, or at the very least read the highway code, you shouldn't be allowed on the roads.

What about the padestrians walking on the pavement?
Hope the driver of the lorry and the motorcyclist are ok.

Car drivers are the ignorant ones! They never give cyclists enough room when they overtake and rev their engines to try and intimidate us. They pollute the atmosphere and kill hundreds of people a year.
As for pedestrians they usually kindly move to one side and let me pass on my bike and I always ring my bell to let them know I am behind them and I always say thanks.

PS: the cycling proficiency test is a waste of time because becoming a good cyclist is something that is aqcuired on the road and pavement though experience.
It is a well known fact that the majority of drivers would fail the test if they were to take it again.

Malcolm i think your missing the point a pavementis for walking on not riding a bicycle, so put you safety gear on and ride in the cycle lanes in the road! As a driver i have loads of bikes weaving in and out of traffic and going threw red lights so i must agree with the above comment learn the highway code like motorists do and use the road. I am not 100% sure but i am pretty sure its illegal to ride a bike on the pavement.

It is also illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving a car but I see drivers doing it every day.
I do not go through red lights because i use the pavement but what drivers do not realise is that it takes time to start pedalling so many cyclists prefer to set off just before the lights turn to green as to get a head start on the cars.
Pity the poor cyclist who not only has to use his or her own steam to propel the bike but contend with aggressive drivers who are more often than not more interested in the contents of their nose, the mobile phone or doing their lipstick than they are for looking out for vunerable cyclists!!!

Malcolm i am sure you make alot of pedestrians very irrate ringing a bell at them to move out of your way when you should be riding on the road! How on earth can you complain about drivers doing something illegal when you are doing something illegal your a hypocrite!
What the cyclists who ride up the inside of lorries and cars that are indicating to turn left but expect the lorries or car to stop and wait for them to pass?? Its not all motorists the same as its not all cyclists but i dont see how riding on the pavement is a safe and sensible option.

Bicycles were invented long before cars but cyclists are made to feel like 2nd class citizens.
Cyclists should be given right of way the same as horses and motorists should respect cyclists as fellow road users.
I dont use hand signals because I ride on the pavement but i do use my bell and people do move aside.
Nobody has ever commented on my bell and why should they? Would they rather have my front tyre make contact with them?
When drivers start obeying the law then I might consider playing along but I can never see that happening.

Funny you say that Malcolm i ride my horse on the road to get to the fields and i feel it can be dangerous with SOME cars, most drivers are great but i would never ride on the pavement.
Because your not meant to be on the pavement so should not be ringing a bell at them to move i dont beep my car horn at other cars to get out my way and let me threw i wish i could!
If your front tyre made contact with them then they would probaby report you to the police as well as do a few other things.
Your such a hypocrite your basically saying because a few car drivers dont obey the law why should you, have you ever heard of lead by example.

Car drivers disregard the Highway Code as soon as they tear the L-plates but you are saying you are the exception. Shame we are not all rich enough to own a horse like you are and I suppose you are used to getting your own way and telling people what to do. Do you work for a living as a bossy primary school teacher?
The contact with the front tyre was purely hypothetical while you are pathetic-al!!!!

If I have to overtake a cyclist I am usually on the opposite side of the road as cyclists leave too much room between them and the pavement.
Also, car drivers don't rev their engines to intimidate anybody, its a generally well-known conception that engine revs increase when a car is accelerating, i.e. overtaking someone!
It's not car drivers who are killing pedestrians or cyclists every year. If pedestrians were to actually look both ways like they are supposed to many accidents would never happen. Likewise with cyclists

So are cyclists supposed to ride over drains and all the assorted litter and debris chucked from car windows ie in the gutter just so the big drivers can have the road to themselves?
Now you can see why i always ride on the pavement and I have had no complaints until now.
I run a fish and chip shop and if i had a pound for the amount of cyclists who come in ashen faced because they have just had another close shave with a driver i would be able to sell up and go abroad.
Motorists do not like pedestrians or cyclists and would like to see them run off the road and you all know it. Be honest for once!!!!

My husband sat in the resulting traffic for SIX HOURS waiting for it to be cleared. No information was given to him in this time and no attempt to assist the traffic was given. He could take a pee on the hardshoulder if needed be but what about any families or elderly people in the queue?

Jo, your hubby would have been home a lot earlier if he had cycled.
In answer to your question about families and old people wanting to take a p obviously they would have had to go at the side of the road, what else? Perhaps you would have liked someone to airlift in portaloos.

Ha ha ha Malcolm i so wish i was rich i sacrifice alot to have a horse thank you and no i am not saying i am perfect but i think your being a hypocrite dont moan about car drivers doing wrong when your doing something just as bad! No i work in sales actual and i am not telling people what to do but i think your being unfair stereo typing all car drivers as bad and ignorant especially when your being ignorant and expecting people on the pavement to get out of your way!
As i said at the start of this thread i hope the driver and bikers are both ok after their accidents.

Malcolm and jo you do have point but as for riding on the pavement it is highly illegal and only allowed if you are a child under the age of 12 years old! I dont drive and I dont use a bike I walk everywhere or use public transport and I hate it when there is an adult on a bike on the pavement, likewise I hate it when cars leave me standing at the edge of the road that im clearly trying to cross and they just keep driving pass without stopping! You ppl realise that it would take less than 2 mins off your jounery to let me cross, specially love it when its raining an your in your nice dry cars and still cant take seconds from your day to let someone cross in front of you!

As a card river i sometimes hate other car drivers but i dont think it can all be pin pointed onto us everyone can be bolshy whether its people who just walk out in front of you slowly and you have to slow down cos they can not be bothered to walk to a zebra crossing to the people on the bikes who weave in and out of cars then pull across the car at the front of traffic lights so the bike can go first. I also know what its like to be on a bike and have some idiot throw rubbish out of the window that nearly hits you!! I just hope to god Malcolm that you never ride into someones child or buggy. Lets hope not everyone thinks like Malcolm or us pedestrians will have to walk in the cycle lanes!!!

You are all fine ones to talk I must say. You have all stereotyped cyclists for years so is it any wonder the two-wheelers are rebelling?
Dave, I wouldn't bother using my bell if I saw you I would just carry on going!
As for buggies there is enough room for everyone on the average pavement so give up a little space for the cyclists who have been forced off the roads and onto the pavements.
Another thing, perhaps I would use cycle lanes if cars were not always parked in them!!!!!

you have resorted to swearing so I take it you have lost the argument.
I am glad you will be avoiding my shop as you would not be welcome there as all my customers are nice and polite.
Do you often go about pushing people off their bikes? if you did that to me I would have no hesitation in phoning the police and taking you to court!!!!!

Malcolm as far as I was aware it's a debate not an argument. I can't take away from you running your own business which must be thriving as you have 2 staff and yourself. I don't know how you sleep at night counting all that money you must be making....!!!!! On a lighter note yes I do go around pushing people off bikes when they are breaking the law and are quite obviously a loser like yourself. I would be happy to go to police with you I'd drive you there with you and your bike on the front of my bonnet.

I do tend to agree I do not drive but drivers have to take tests to be on the road and i do feel bikes are dangerous as some have no road ideas of the rules of the road, they shouldn't be allowed until they take a driving test and i see one riding a bike the other day with a mobile stuck to his ear, driver get fined for that.

I'm sorry you see it that way. I'm not a bully and feel hurt by the insinuation. Did I not in my last post say something nice about your thriving business. Your the one threatening to come to Bexley...!!! I think if you ring the Police and ask them I would be within my right to push you off as you are on the pavement. No the law Malcolm.!!!

I was wondering if the reason that Malcolm has ridden a bike for the last 32 years is because he is too thick to pass a motor vehicle driving test. I wonder how many times he tried? How many lessons must he have had? I have no problem with cyclists, but I do feel that considering they do cause SOME accidents, they should be insured (like the rest of us) and that they should have to pass some sort of test. Also their bikes should have some sort of MOT to make sure it is safe and has working lights and brakes!! And they should NOT be ridden on the pavement, that is for people to walk on! Not tricky is it?

I am amazed that people are posting here that they ride their bikes on the pavement. It is illegal and dangerous. Even children are not supposed to ride on pavements - if you can't ride on the road push the thing or leave it at home and get a bus. AS a walker I am often confronted by cyclists on the pavements of Swanley and I will not move for them - in fact get in my way and my shopping trolley will get in yours!

why would anyone ride on the pavement in Swanley? the paths are all covered in dog poo!

Malcolm maybe people are getting frustrated with you that you can not see how dangerousit is your riding a bike on the pavement and expecting people to move out of your way to do something illegal!!
So you only ride your bike on the pavement when the pavement is clean??
If you reported being pushed off your bike to the police and told them you was pushed off because you was riding on the pavement and rung your bell at someone to get out your way and when they didnt you rode at them so they pushed you off i think we all know who the police would side with, so please stop being so tunnel visioned.

There really is nothing wrong with riding a bike on the pavement as long as you warn pedestrians of your approach so that they can stop and move out of the way!!!!

To be honest Jo, the majority of NS readers are not as volatile as you and would not dream of abusing cyclists either online or on the pavements.
If you go to the forum you will find that so far I have had nothing but support for my actions so I suggest you admit defeat and bow out gracefully.
An apology wouldn't go amiss either!!!!!!!!1
