:-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 It doesn't bear thinking about!

How can they do these things against the advice of people who know first hand. Like the AA / RAC etc. Ambulances also need to get to accidents. Fire engines etc :-0 :-0 :-0

It’s crazy Jem....and the thought of any of my friends or family having to drive on a smart motorway..would worry me to death :-( :-(

I've only ever driven a 2 mile stretch of motorway to where it meets a dual carriageway going west ;-)

I don't think I'm going to try any others :-0 :-D
