What is it with the m1 mk to Hemel?

Every day on radio seem to be reporting m1 shut near Luton 20 vehicle pile up Tec. Today 2 car transporters made love on the m1■■?

Possibly the narrow lanes south of the Bedford exit, the windiness of it (especially from Toddington to Luton airport) plus the ‘smart’ motorway which has people using the hard shoulder as a lane without much visibility in places. I narrowly avoided hitting a broken-down car in the hard shoulder south of Toddington last year.

Zb’all wrong with the road, as isual it’s the drivers that use it.

I hate the M1, always have done. It’s about the only downside of my switch to artics, always seem to heading to Purfleet, Dartford or Enfield when I head south. When I did Central London on rigids it was M40 every time. In 4 years I only ever had one hold up. Other than that it was limiter all the way. Many days I could make it down to Northolt without even having to change lanes once.
