Quote: M6 toll road
i suspect our message may get clouded as they may think we are protesting about the toll charges, plus we would have to pay and fill the coffers when we should be preventing them picking our pockets when we exceed the limit slightly  |

| They also have that stupid 'variable limit' which suceeds in defeating the object very well, if this went ahead (on the M25) remember the lanes switch from 4 to 3 then 2 and so on etc so it would need a bit of planning if we wanted to keep a lane clear |

| yes you should be - that's what you learn on your theory test and so If you have forgotten perhaps you should do it again?
