Toll poll

[IR35FanClub]

Used to use it when coming back from Telford. Even got a tag so i didnt have to stop and pay, just slow to about 10mph and the barriers flick up.... As long as some numptie hasnt gone in the tag lane without a tag Used to use the A5 in the mornings as there was no one else about.

Makes it easier for expenses too... just attach the monthly invoice to my expenses.

I think they have the charging wrong though. Theres often times id like to use it, but coz i get off the lichfield junction i wont pay to do only half the distance!

Be warned theres a lot of unmarked bacon sandwiches along there. I used to see someone everynight whod been pulled over by a black octavia or a silver passat or a grey 5 series. Apparently the excuse "i thought it was a private road" wont save you getting three points... one of my colleagues tried that.

If the signs say "toll road clear" it means both are clear and don't pay for saving a few minutes. If there's trouble in Brum then I don't mind paying and a Friday evening trip to the Lakes it's almost always worth it. The crazy thing about it is that it's an anti congestion charge. More likely to pay when I have passengers to spread the cost.

I will always pay money to avoid mixing with plebs

I use the toll at busy times.

I've used the M6 Toll on the few occasions I've travelled that way since it opened, which have been two trips to the Lakes (the only "going somewhere else" holidays I've taken in the last ten years IIRC) and a funeral in Liverpool.

There's no reason to go into central Birmingham unless you have business there. Saving a few bob and losing an hour or so of your life isn't worth it for the sake of seeing the boards they tacked on the side of the flyover through Walsall.

Sorry, thought this was a troll poll

Would you pay £11 to commute there daily? That's £220 per month, or easily equivalent of needed £5000 salary bonus to keep driving there.

The only real toll that works is over bridges where alternative ways add 100+ miles.

You're the one complaining about train costs

Never down that way but if I was I'd be paying the toll.

Drove down the M6 today. Paid my £5.50 and sailed through a pleasant traffic free 20 miles or so.
Do you use the M6 toll like a proper contractor, or queue with the working classes?

I ask the butler to pay. When I am not in my helicopter.
