For those of us who do a serious cross country trip it’s difficult to totally avoid a motorway and sometimes a short motorway section can be very useful in joining up a route comprised mainly of A roads etc.
My view, in the past, has been that motorways are fine if you can maintain around 50 mph and keep a watchful eye on the rear view mirror — the emergency lane is an essential bolt hole if something goes wrong.
Now this might change if these so called smart motorways become popular ie the emergency lane becomes part of the regular motorway. I guess it may become important to have this in mind when planning a cross country route.
I should be interested to know what other Seveners think?
