The M4/5 has been gridlocked since lunchtime, mind the fact it has been pouring with rain all day hasn't helped.
I drove from SW15 to EX36 on Friday, that was dreamy; thence DT8. 8 hours in a car, much of it stationary on the M4, M5 or A358. Then drove home yesterday (with much time spent stationary on the A303).
Anyway, commute today. Drove in halfway (to return the rental car) and train the rest. Wish I'd done what I originally planned which was to drive the rental car back last night (with the bike in the back) and cycled home, then cycled to the rental car place this morning to hand the keys back and get the car checked over (don't trust them not to claim there were scratches as I'd declined their extra insurance) and then cycle the rest of the way into work.
Took me longer to drive half way into work than it does to cycle the whole way. Several thumbs up from cyclists on the way though, which was nice.

I live in South West England and I can tell you why the roads up there are quiet.
Cos they're all down here.
