I vote the M6 as the worst for traffic. 5 hours to travel 140 miles from Milton Keynes to Manchester!!!  I was not best pleased!
I vote the M602 (M62) as the most delapidated. You need a bloody 4x4 to use that road, my car didnt agree with it. 60mm drop on 16's doesnt drive well on poor roads such as this one.

Agreed about M6 around birmingham...
M62 is not too bad just that section where there road has undulations...there are warning signs...its not the actual condition of the road its just its been built on sand or something...so is very up and down!

M6 for sure, I live near it use it alot. Worst section for accidents is J19-J14. Staffs cheshire boarder. Is meant to be the worst in the country.

The bit between Manchester and the M6 on the M62 is poor.
The M6 is a nightmare, i'm so glad i dont have to encounter that often.

Best motorway is the M40 no questions!
No speed camera's, no police cars, a nice winding, up + down hill stretch, never that busy...
Perfect for testing top end speeds!

Believe me mate it took 5 hours. Ask Tasty_tracey as she was with me. It was a nightmare. Stuck on the M6 before Birmingham for 3 hours. Didnt know about the A50 so didnt think about going that way. Only took two and a half to come back though, but that was at midnight.

M25. All concrete, all terrible.
However, they are resurfacing it all in that nice smooth tarmac stuff. Done most of the section between Dartford and the M1. So that'll be good for next years shows 
Bottom half of the M25 is still shite though. That concrete sh1te is soooooo noisy.
And i can't work it out, Uk's busiest motorway is 3 lanes (mostly). Simply is not wide enuff hence why theres tailbacks every single day on it.
