I once hit it at 23:30 on the way back from Manchester, what should have been a 45min blast to my exit was an additional 3hr nightmare, a lorry had jack knifed blocking all 4 lanes next to an exit junction. so all the cars had to filter off and filter back on to the M25.
I mean, not in my experience in the middle of nowhere. They are usually less then 3 hours. Only seen something close to 45 on the 405 in L.A. (on a Sunday because I didn't drive in L.A.) and 2 hours for avalanche blasts in Colorado.

There is no predicting that damned motorway.
