So much for the efficiency of our smart motorway network camera coverage and rapid response.

Yesterday, Saturday, M6 south just below jct 13 4 lane running no warnings, car stopped presumably broken down on live left lane.

Today, Sunday, M1 south around jct 29 4 lane running, no warnings, car stopped presumably broken down on live left lane.

Dunno about you lot but i'm unsure about these so called smart motorways and thgink the dangers outweigh the benefits, very happy with the 4 lane section M1 between Nottm and Mansfield and some of the newer M25 sections, just as they should be 4 permanent running lanes and a good wide hard shoulder for emergencies..fortunately both days very few lorries on the road, good visibility dry conditions, that brings to 7 now the memorable stopped unwarned of vehicles i've come across on fast moving smart motorways, all the rest have been in the west mids section at busy times in dangerous stretches.

Just to note, i know you lot will be interested, both vehicles were RangeRovers, yesterdays was disgracefully, new model unknown cos they all look the same to me, todays was an ageing P38 and that old warrior is entitled to the odd hiccup.
