From: Luton (Near London), UK
My Ride: Nov 2003 530D SE Auto in Mystic Blue with Grey Dakota Leather, Business Nav. Star Spoke 124 18"s, Blootooth Preperation.
Modifications so far: M5 spoiler, M5 trunk finisher, hometronic rear view mirror, Maple Wood interior trim.
Mods to come: M5 style quad exhaust and M5 rear bumper, Dechroming, black ebay grilles, tints, upgrade to factory amp, by the time I've done these, I'm sure I'll have thought of some more....
the bmw system around london regularly reroutes me, and not just on motorway, on many of the (what we call "a" roads) which are reasonably main roads. the smaller "b" roads its not concerned about, but having the a roads is more than good enough for me, and works well

The system works reasonably well. For now.
As more vehicles (all brands) are equipped with similar systems the re-routes themselves will become clogged.
Get re-routing while it still has the edge.

But surely if everyone else also re-routes, then the original route woule free up again? Therefore the quickest way through traffic is to stick to the congested route as everyone else would have gone a different way

I think your reasoning may begin to work if the roads we were considering had equivalent characteristics.
Nice try.

I live near a motorway junction and as soon as there's a problem announced on the radio not only does the motorway remain clogged but the local urban area clogs up too.
