Had the drive from Hell on way back to Cov from Bolton today, hardly got above 50 all the way down the M6, so was pretty glad when I got to the M6 Toll, until I arrived at this...


Can't believe they charged £3 for that ^ ... thing was, the signs on the M6 had said the toll road was clear, so could I get compen from the Toll people for basically lying to me?
Sorry about pic quality, cam phone was all I had with me

they always say clear, few reports on the raio about traffic on the toll when the signs say clear. its a way to lure you onto the toll.... its missleading and money grabbing, i never and wont use it.

Just avoid that area like the plague especially at rush hours times is advisable...

I've been on a few times. The first couple I sat at well over 100 and didn't overtake anything. The most recent ones it's been busier with police on the bridges. Good while it lasted

Yeah, coppers have been more attracted to it whilst theres so many roadworks on the normal M6, cameras are doin their job there... 
Speakin of coppers, heard a story today about the East Lancs police, were out on the motorway practising some vehicle stop manoeuvres, TPAC I think theyre called, and they got it wrong... Result: 5 smashed up Plodmobile Volvos, and at least 4 injured coppers
