Opens today and runs right past me, gonna give it a run at lunch time to test this super new "extra quiet tarmac". What're you're views on it ?
-
any good??
-
tell ya tomorrow, stupid clients phoning in my lunch break >:(
-
how rude!! :D
-
Drove from Glasgow to Milton Keynes the other day so covered the total length of the old M6 - could certainly have done with an alternative road to drive on as even though I left at 2:30 am - the roads were pretty busy by the time I hit Birmingham area ::)
-
I think the tolls will just end up causing a huge tailback. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it!
-
whats the point of payng road tax then! 175 a year for a GTi should be free or at least ?50. This government is taking the piss.
We even pay tax to wipe our bumz coz the bog roll has tax on it! funny but true
-
road tolls suck as much as speed cameras!
-
If there is a hold up, do you get a discount/refund?.
Steve.
-
how much do you pay and how?
-
tolls are piss taking ideas, doubt i'l see much of the m6 down in essex but the dartford crossin is sh1t enough! nearly all the traffic revolves around that stupid bridge >:(
i agree mrk2 ?175 a year to drive your car on the road, then another ?1 everytime you wanna go to kent an back b*ll*ks >:(
-
?1 ? i wish !
Motorcycles : ?1
Cars : ?2
Trucks : ?10
And thats only one way ! Have to pay again to come back ! Also the prices are going up by ?1 after the first 100,000 cars, this is a special introductory offer.... aren't we lucky...
-
thats effin scandelous! >:( >:(
do they honestly think people will stop using there cars, if anything people will find smaller road route! surely the intention is for them to raise the money to build the bloody thing!
i dont even use the road an i'm mad >:(

does that mean after 200,000 cars the price will be ?4 and so on?
the introductory price sounds like a con.
-
dont think so mate, prob just stick at ?3! that is soooo pricey!
so as well as ?176 for car tax, if you use the m6 to get to work every day that's a whoppin great ?1560 A YEAR ON TOP OF PETROL! >:( :( >:( :'(
that's a new set of alloys, new exhaust, chip and a good stereo!!!!!! >:(
-
luckily theres no 'tol' type things round here only the durham bridge and humber bridge, that s about it, i dont like all this payin payin payin cause theres alot of cheapskates out there who DONT tax there cars!, id rather there be no tax and a few pence more on fuel then every body that uses a car have to pay!!, they dont run on thin air!!! :o
-
test-run will have to wait another day, off work sick :(
-
i use the m6 every day from junc 11 to the m5 link, yesterday i thought great i had a straight run at about 2pm it seemed everybody was trying the toll road out. but today at the same time it was back to normal a 25min trip without traffic now 1 hour plus same as before :-\ i hope i'm wrong but it aint workin so far and unless they make it free i can't see it ever workin
-
i travel from junction 2 to 8 every day and now the toll road makes the m6 back up even further. so forcing you to use the toll if your late or in a rush. also heard there going to start major roadworks on the m6 round brum. again forcing you to pay (what a great government) >:( >:( >:(
-

Government r w@nkers!Bet 2 jags doesn't pay tolls!

Exactly! >:( We always get penalised just cos we love to drive.They talk about gettin more people into public services but thats a load of bollix!They r crap too!(not that i hav used any in a while!)
I'm just waiting to c what happens about those so-called speed readers what r going to b fitted to all cars so that they can monitor everyoes speed,i.e u'l get fined for goin too fast without knowing it!
I reckon the government want to look at what real folk are goin throu instead of what 2 jags n everyone else is goin throu!They don't hav a fcuking clue!
God i cud go on for ages!
