Nowt wrong with smart motorways if they are used properly, and with extra caution.
It’s when you add the inept, the incompetent, the bad driver,.and the ‘‘car driver with a Claas 1 licence’’ who thinks he s a trucker, nto the mix when the problem starts.
Also the cretins who can’t t use them prooerly and avoid the inside lane for whatever reason…cough Winseer. cough. 
… driving his ''Instunent of death
(Can’t believe that STILL.amuses me after all this time. 
)
As somebody just said, why not add dual carriageway to the petition as they also do not have a hard shoulder.
