This is the post where Helen gets on her soapbox. They are currently digging up the E6 at Glumslöv near Helsingborg, which is currently causing traffic chaos to and from work. Unlike in most other European countries the Swedes just do not understand the "blixtlåsprincip" ("zipper system", or whatever it's called in English) For some reason lorry drivers think it's a great way to ease the traffic by parking themselves in the middle of the motorway and blocking everyone from driving past thus causing a perfectly normal 2,5km jam to double in length.....arrrrghhh! So on Wednesday evening I was almost at the point of roadrage when, yet again, another lorry started to block the motorway 4km from where the roadworks actually start....when there are instructions on the motorway sign showing how one should behave when it's heavy traffic! I'm NOT a happy bunny going to and from work at the moment. Why can't the Swedes get it into their heads that you're supposed to use BOTH lanes right up until the roadworks begin and then file in one after the other?!?!?! Somebody help! Yours in desperation, Helen
