Re: Smart motorways are dangerous
An ideal solution, if only every driver could bring themselves to cooperate(!), would be for everyone to agree not to use the inside lane and effectively treat it as the hard shoulder.Of course, I can't see that ever happening. Not in this country. The days of everyone working together to benefit us all are long gone, I'm sorry to say.

When I used to visit family in your part of the country I used the A30 or was it the A33(?), then along came the motorway so those A roads became very quiet, they went through the New Forest so far more interesting to drive on than the boring motorway!

Re: Smart motorways are dangerous
If we should ever break down on a smart motorway and not be able to reach a 'pull in' area, we'd be straight out of the car and on to the grass verge and get as far away from the road as possible.The car might be smashed and wrecked, but we'd survive - hopefully.
Perhaps when more and more people have been killed, the government will be forced to do something about this dangerous idea.

If it happened to a few government ministers, it might speed up new rules a darn site quicker.
