Observational documentary series about one of the busiest stretches of motorway in Britain, where the country's longest motorway, the M6, meets four other major routes. Keeping the traffic flowing through these major transport arteries is a highly complex and expensive operation involving a hidden army of workers deployed 24/7, 365 days a year. Every year in Britain there are an estimated 250,000 road traffic collisions. It is a widely held theory amongst those working on the motorway that there is no such thing as an accident - usually something or someone is to blame. This episode takes a look at the work of the Highways Agency, motorway police and other agencies who are making Britain's motorways safer and also explores the environmental, economic and emotional costs of accidents that occur on Britain's motorways.
