In the Seventies, we used the motorways regularly. Lorries overtook us on the way down the hills, we passed them going up! In the Nineties, I drove several times in a Chummy from Reading to Lynton, using the M4, M5 and A361 North Devon link road.
These days, especially with "Smart" motorways, I avoid them at all costs - with Mr Sales Rep in his BMW, Audi or Mercedes and no idea about small slow traffic, not to mention the 40 tonners, it's a death lottery.
Even dual carriageways are bad news, "B" roads for me!
