So far this week there has been 4 mornings of delays due to crashes, and it's only Thursday. Every other day the M4 seems to have a crash that causes chaos.
People are linking the recent increases in crashes to the speed cameras being turned on. I can see the reasoning for it. Dangerous part of road where you now need to:
Take your eyes off the road
Brake suddenly
Not sure this stretch of road is the right place to be increasing those sorts of things. Hurry up and build the relief road, and do it properly not one of the other half added options.

Bad drivers to blame. Ignoring the speed warnings is the norm
It is a completely crap stretch of road but it's a bit Clarkson to blame the road for the accidents. If people would just keep their distance then the problem would be solved immediately.
Then why does it appear that accidents have gone up since the cameras were turned on.
The road is bad and always been dangerous, but since the cameras have been switched on its gone from being a monthly thing to a several times a week. The road has not changed. Only people having to double check their speed has changed.

By what I have seen it is mobiles combined with terrible driving.
I was 2 cars away from the crash as it happened just before the coldra today, if I hadn't have kept my distance I would have been joining them. It's split second stuff when that happens and if you don't have any distance then you've no chance.
Another crash on the M5 caused chaos as well and another one further down the M4, its no wonder with the driving you see, tailgating, undertaking all very very common occurances
Chevrons are needed to force people to keep distance. Works on the m6
The chevrons are a good idea for the increasing number of people who don't know their stopping distances. Good drivers shouldn't need them.
