M6 Toll

<< < (2/7) > >>

graham:
I use it when I have to travel south  :shock:

Anyone used the toll motorway around Dublin, I stood in a queue for the best part of an hour for the toll booths.  :roll:

Thrasher:
I use it because the fuel I save driving at the speed limit outweighs the fuel I use sat at 5mph going the other way! Therefore it's cheaper.

I have often wondered if traffic jams on motorways are not engineered by the government. I pay £100 to fill a tank with fuel only to spend half my time sat still on a blocked motorway burning it going no-where so I need more to get to where I wanted to go!!!

Have to agree there! The amount of times ive been stuck in "congestion" for no apparent reason, the cause of it, every one being slowed to 40.  if they just left the limit to 70 they wouldnt have to tell me there is conjestion.

How many times have people been slowed to 40/50 when the roads completly empty??

Hissy:
How come the overhead signs always tell you when the Toll Road is clear but not when the M6 is clear (which is more often than we're led to believe ).
I never ever use it.
If i have a job north of Stafford it would cost £18-00 return per day.
Over the course of a week i'd have to sit in a hell of a jam to use an extra £90 in diesel even at todays prices.
At the end of the day how do i tell Mr Customer..... "Your invoice includes £18 per day in Toll Charges"

datalas:
I don't use it because it's not on the way to work, and I think going from home to work via birmingham is a 300 mile detour I could do without, then again recent roadworks round here have meant a detour not far off it anyhow :(
