I wouldn’t say it’s *that* bad; indeed I prefer it to the M1.
There’s certainly troublesome sections though:
* Welwyn to Stevenage is most in need of improvement, and this needs a full three lanes plus hard shoulder, not a smart motorway
* Through Sandy
* Black Cat to A421 (now being fixed)
* M18 to M62
Well my parents got rear ended a few months ago because the speed of the traffic suddenly went from 70 to 30. The person behind probably didn't leave enough space. It's not a road I enjoy driving, it's way too busy and is seriously in need of an upgrade.
Then there was the caravan incident, caravan pulls out of a petrol station, I couldn't move over because the right hand lane was busy. So I had to slam on the brakes really hard to stop myself crashing into it.
You don't get that sort of thing on the M1
