Since the end of the Easter school holidays, traffic has increased to new levels. In a bid to combat the snail pace start-stop routine, I decided I would subscribe to the traffic service on my TomTom iPhone app. I set off from work and the news was grim, delays along the M4 - nothing new. I was then asked if I'd like to reroute to save 6 minutes, I thought who wouldn't? So I followed the new directions through some vaguely familiar streets and rather than the wildly optimistic indicative destination time getting away, it was holding steady. So far I was impressed - until I was told to turn onto the M2 and M7! I usually avoid toll roads on my daily grind, but I decided to use them for the purposes of the experiment and I made it home in record time. Now the next test is for TomTom traffic without the toll road cheats!
With a big year ahead of us I thought a Project 366 would be the perfect way to look back at the way it was.
