00:00As far as the M42 and M62 are concerned, I can see what they mean, I've driven on the M42 a bit myself, a lot of it is a smart motorway, which might be a lot to do with it, there's a lot of controversy about that, so some people might have had bad experiences with the hard shoulder, it's not a hard shoulder.
00:18Roadworks, they put them up, they notify you and they put barrads up and then you just pay for a few days, barrads are still there, no one's doing the works or anything like that, you know what I mean, and it causes a lot of distress to the locals.
00:31Save the millions, you've got to close down, close down, spend it on the roads.
00:38I think drivers, especially people who do a lot of motorway driving will be quite happy to accept short term disruption as long as they know at the end of it there's going to be an improvement, and not perhaps one step forward and two back in terms of the speed you can go safely, the actual driving experience, the condition of the roads as well, and the reliability of the signs too.
