Southbound Joining the M6 off Junct 7

I hope they have sorted this out today, we were nearly written off yesterday when we went to filter on to the Motorway Southbound at Junct 7 - stupid lady (loose term) did not filter in as the run in lane was conned off, and brought the joining traffic and me to a complete standstill,… I just about missed her rear and was boxed in behind, it was one of the closest near misses i have ever had.

Can you tell me how difficult is it to filter a car into traffic■■?.

soz i got my north and south mixed up doh :blush:

so do you mean going round the island at junction 7
and joining the M6 North
or even the M5

its a dangerous juntion , it will not be sorted today
its not helped by the roadworks in the area at the moment
many cars have joined motorway there
and been dragged along the carriageway
without hgv driver realising
if going north on m6
best to get in middle lane before junction 8

Although that’s a fairly short sliproad I maintain that every car using it should be able to get up to motorway speed and not have to stop, however many members on here will disagree :frowning:

thats expecting a lot
lots of em cant get up to 40 mph
even when the slip road is really long
