Just for my penny’s worth I am not in favour of smart motorways the reason being there is no longer any hard shoulder. I know there are lay-bys for breakdowns every so often but they are of little use if you breakdown some way away from one whatever you are driving truck, modern car or a seven.
On another point however I agree with others who do not take there sevens on the motorways. Such roads did not exist at the time our sevens were made and thus were not designed for use on motorways. Although we like them and enjoy driving them technology has advanced and us who drive them have to accept this and give to the more faster modern traffic. Going faster in a modern is nor dangerous if driven correctly. However it is frustrating if held back for long periods behind an eighty year old car the driver of which refuses to pull over and let others pass.
