My experience of the M25 and M42 is that they do seem to work, though you often end up sprinting between the gantries and then slamming on your brakes for the next camera, if you insist on driving like a twat
Not done the M42 regularly in rush hour, but enough other times to know what it can be like and being able to use four lanes obviously does help. All the initial scaremongering about how using the hard shoulder would mean accidents by the dozen has been proved to be nonsense.

They might have some testing jobs going.

There is a wine tasting department in the building I am working in! That is my kind of testing......

[realityhack]

Yes

You've exactly the right spirit for the job. Now, I just need two references...

I actually opened that while peeking through my fingers with my hand over my face...

A friend sent me a photo of a horrible highway accident in Germany .

The picture may be kind of hard to take for some of you, if you look closely you can see what appear to be some survivors of the accident still in the wreckage.

Although the picture is quite graphic, it makes you realize how quickly our loved ones can be taken from us. My friend stayed on the scene to help and even though he performed mouth to mouth on quite a few of them, none apparently survived.

I have, and the accidents on it at peak time mean that I started to use the M69/A46/M40 instead.

Nightmare...

that is sick.
bodies littered everywhere, shattered remains and body fluids. Yeuk

It must be happening at my end also !?! Jn 10-12 hard shoulder is all coned and yellow cameras going up. So they are going to use the hard shoulder as a lane ? Sounds good to me.
