Seems like the M42 is almost ready for its hard shoulder running experiment. The work seems almost finished so I’m hoping that one day the cones will be gone…
This wasn’t good enough for a Saab driver today though. He came on the northbound slip at junction 10 Tamworth and noting the 3 artics in the nearside lane and the Dunns of Shildon Scania with impressive convoy overtaking (took almost until the A444 junction!). Saab driver then decided to continue along the hard shoulder and get past the trucks on the nearside! Not seen that manoevre done before, apart from exiting in heavy traffic.
Looks like the bases are in for the no overtaking signs on the stretch up the hill to junction 11.
