| I am not sure about the M6, however there is a simalar situation on the M42. I belive it is because the hardshoulder usally becomes the exit lane for the next junction. |

They are the only people who ignore red lights. ?? as the lights turn red from amber, people (in cars) frequently go though them. I am not talking about people driving though as it changes... |

| They have done the same thing going into Birmingham. A once :40: is now :30: on a dual carriageway and there isn’t one single driver including traffic police that I’ve followed, on two occasions to date, who respects it. This is happening a lot in Birmingham, for example the A38 after the Aston exp... |

Tamworth is always cheaper.If you are near Tamworth, always fill up at ASDA (just off the A5), cos it always cheaper .
I very rarely buy fuel from anywhere else, unless I can't avoid it. |

| I don't think a 75mph limit goes far enough- people can still break the law. Why stop with vans?!!!!!! All motor vehicles should be limited to 69.99999 mph. I think it is a wonderful idea! Trucks never crash and they are limited, the motorway follows so freely and easily around the trucks when they ... |
