I remember back in September 2001 when I drove the RP from Sheffield down to here we had stayed off motorways all the way to St Albans and then had to get onto the M25 to get over the Dartford Crossing. OK it was still daylight but despite my trepidation it proved quite enjoyable - it was about 4pm so most of the time we were going at the same speed as everyone else, even on the long climb over the QE bridge.... I guess the North Circular on a Friday night would be similarly choc-a-bloc with traffic. It's when it's NOT busy that you need to watch your back.
