I quite like Rushfields to the Dyke roundabout after a sausage sandwich

I can guarantee it was someone getting there and planning/expecting to pay with Apple or Google pay, which in 2024 is not unreasonable.
For some unfathomable reason, you cannot pay this way at the plaza, and instead have to sit there like a dick head and press the help button, followed by giving a real human somewhere your name, registration number, phone number and address etc.
Must happen so many times a day.
Please don't tell me you've done it on your bicycle

Love the m6 toll road. Its how motorways should be. Smooth, fast, and as the op said, complete mayhem out of the toll gates. Best 8.95 I spent yesterday

And what's happened to the Police cracking down on these idiots and pulling them over, and handing out a £100 fine and 3 points. I've yet to see any action taken, and hence the inability to adhere to the requirements of driving on a motorway, where every lane other than lane 1 is for overtaking only.

So much this. I don’t do much driving these days, but was purple with rage yesterday on multiple occasions about the number of middle lane hogs on an empty motorway. Undertake, or pull all the way from lane 1 from lane 3 to pass? Infuriating.

I'm going nowhere Lynn. Quite literally, I'm on the ring road. Third time round.

The motorway was originally meant to go all the way into London, meeting the south circular. But was abandoned (prob ”cost”. NIMBYs etc.) so abruptly stops at Hooley - travelling north where M23 ends you can see where it would have done as you “exit” the motorway, now just parking for Highways/Police/etc… (so don’t go too fast when joining southbound as you’ll only notice them too late
)Never missed.

Never late in a V8
Driving through the Lake District.
But the best one that i want to try is Black Mountain pass in Wales. 19 miles of dips sharp courners and switch backs.

That's the Ditchling back straight. Used to regularly hammer it along there on motorbikes late at night on our way back from Brighton in me youth. Blew a hole in a piston on my T120 Bonneville along that stretch of road.
