And to be pedantic
Its actually people that don't follow the variable speed limit that cause the jams, in the accordion effect. The variable limits are proven to actually improve your overall journey speed.

Touche
But quite genuinely if everyone obeyed the speed limits and also the variable the flow on the road would be better. Unfortunately the reality is you get people who ignore them and then slam on when creating the problem.

Don't bother. Take the three points.
It won't make any difference to your insurance as long as you don't get anymore points. You will never get the 4 hours back and it is the most patronising clap trap going.

I left my one after 20 mins and took the points.

sure, if we banned all retards from driving, it would flow much better
as this can't happen, putting things in place that they don't understand are going to make it worse.

another example would be junctions that should have no traffic lights at night - see america. this would work perfectly well here, if only people weren't such fucktards.
