Who will by my bread? I've got various sizes. Do you have any that are around the same size as your head? I do, but I have a freakishly small head......

Thankfully I don't have to use it much any more, but what a shit state that motorway is. It's a joke how many accidents/traffic problems there are, and how long it takes for them to get sorted. Smart motorway my arse.

I actively avoid it and prefer to use the M1 or skirt round it, Iād prefer to go 20 miles out of my way than step foot on the M6.
Absolute fucking shitshow of a road and has got worse with every passing year.

Absolute fucking shitshow of a road and has got worse with every passing year. All the way from Coventry up to Preston it is the most horrific piece of road. Although I suspect the M25 knocks it into cocked hat. But I fortunately don't have to drive it.

Smart motorway my arse. Spot on - it seems as though there's an accident almost every day between j14 and j18 - that stretch is nearly always on the travel news, and as you say it seems to take ages to get it sorted. Thankfully I rarely venture anywhere near the M6 anymore but can sympathise with those who have to use it.

Missed it by 30 seconds if that this morning . Iām at a loss as to how he got in that position, what I will say is there was a car and two other lorryās in very close proximity, I think heās braked heavy to avoid something and swerved violently causing his load of wood chip to move and send him over. Could the car have been stationary I donāt know for sure. But a straight wide open motorway at 5.30 am , but of rain about , no way he could go over without a serious over-steer correction

Christ if Iām not mistaken that artic looks like a bread delivery, better get down to the local shop to stock up as no doubt thereās going to be a bread shortage soon. Stock up lads youāve heard it here first When i visited Chester Zoo the other day i walked past this enclosure. Bare with hardly anything in it bar a loaf of Hovis just in the middle of the enclosure. When i looked at the sign there wasnt much info at all. It just said "Bread in captivity"

Been driving 11 years and going through Wednesbury on the M6 still makes me absolutely shit myself, awful awful road and that particular section is an absolute free-for-all. Even driving around there 6am on a Sat it gets busy. Also gets mental with people wanting to use M6 M42 M1 M5 i personally can see why some people who dont know that strech and or dont have sat nav could quite easilly find themselves in a wrong lane. Can anyone please confirm what a smart motorway does apart from cause problems? Clearly just too many cars needing to use it.

General motorway question:
I thought 4 Lane motorways were designed to relieve congestion etc so why are lorries then allowed to use lanes 1 2 and 3?
