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 ?

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

If there is a hold up, do you get a discount/refund?.
