I was stuck on the M25 earlier today for over an hour due to road traffic collision involving 4 vehicles which caused a 2 lane closure and long tail backs.

Please can I claim for compensation for my time, for my wasted fuel, for my bruised ego and whatever other stress I may (or may not) have encountered?

Why is it airlines that get penalised by such regulations, I would very much like to send my compensation claim into the Highways Agency or Department for Transport for today's inconvenience because I am sure it could have been avoided or at least reduced if police stopped middle lane drivers, if the driving test included motorway driving, if the Department of Transport raised the speed limit to 80mph... The list goes on, maybe I should claim this with the European Courts too?

Sometimes happens, no one is at overall or total fault, therefore no one can be held 100% accountable. Yet with airlines it is always totally their fault.
