That bit of motorway is grim, 50mph average speed check for so long. Is it done yet? Been going on forever.
I’m going up for Brentford and not driving. Just said to me dad why, and it’s purely because I’ve not driven at over 50 for years now and I’d be unsafe to do such a long drive right now.
Still not finished it and don’t look in any rush to do so.
 

The type that runs through Birmingham seems more sensible to me. Hard shoulder is as it should be if normal traffic levels. When congested it is opened up but they have the lower limit to make it safer.

The M6 from 19 down is not. 4 lanes always open, a battle to get over if you have problems.

I try to keep out lanes 1 and 2 if it's busy. Would rather have a car/van go into me than a big lorry.
