so is it right that there aint a speed limit as its a toll road?

but the rozzers can do you for reckless driving?

see, i have only used it 3 times now, one of those times i absolutly fukked it along there lol, but as there was only 6 cars in perfect dry conditions/daylight etc ans i wasnt in and out of lanes cos no fukka uses it lol can the cops reallydo you for reckless driving?

driving fast yes, reckless - no way

 

there is technically a speed limit but ive never bothered with it,,,,,,,,,, infact i average 130 plus along there

i think the old bill dont enforce it as its 3.50 to go on it so can cost a fair bit


btw people claim they hide behind the bridges but im not the only one doing 140 along there i can promise ya

 

erm...

all public roads in the uk have the "national speed limit" or lower

 

as i said so technically illegal,,,,,,,,, but only if you get caught though

 

If a tree falls in the forest.... does it make any noise?

Every time I've been on the M6 toll I've seen a police car patrolling, several times they have pulled someone up.

Its a normal road , normal rules apply, in every respect, it just costs you money to travel on it. I doubt if the police pay to patrol it.

 

can only do you if they can catch you

 

They only need to have seen you, not catch you. Letter through the door.

 

Normal road, normal speed limits apply - unfortunately.

Lovely bit of road that....................

 

No the police don't pay, neither do these others:


(2) A toll order shall contain provision exempting from liability to pay any toll—

(a) a police vehicle, identifiable as such by writing or markings on it or otherwise by its appearance, if being used for police purposes;

(b) an ambulance as defined in section 4(2) of the [1971 c. 10.] Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971;

(c) a fire engine as so defined;

(d) a vehicle exempt from duty under that Act by virtue of—

section 4(1)(g) of that Act (invalid carriages),
section 4(1)(kb) of that Act (vehicles used for carriage of disabled persons by recognised bodies), or
section 7(2) of that Act (vehicles used by or for purposes of disabled person).

 

Has anyone ever noticed that even when there aren't many cars on the M.6 Toll, the car park in the services is usually full?

 

how many times have you used the toll road,,,,, ive used it over 20 times so not alot i admit but ive NEVER seen the old bill on it,,,,,,, i only use it so i can stretch the cars legs


as for the services,,,, its cause its the cleanest serviced available and got a nice costa coffee bar there that serve a nice cup of coffee , spend ya 3.50 and its over in a blur,,,,,,,, this way you get to take some time with the money spent


seriously dont belive you have seen the old bill patrol everytime you have been on it unless you are driving at 30mph there


btw steve is right too, they can send a letter but then unless they can prove your car wasnt cloned 9 reported your plates stolen is a nice touch to help prove the matter i find in these situations


ps, no way have you seen the old bill every time, or if that is really true what time do you use it and ill know to use the M6 that time

 

considering i was traffic warden for 3 years think i do know they dont pay

ever heard of taking the piss

 

when we use it going ford fair we average 140 150

 

see thats just speeding and dangerous

first time i used it was after veiwing the cossie i bought off you, was a accident as i HATED toll roads

but when i went on it and i never went below 100 i thought it was the nuts

next time i used it was the first time i ever drove a rwd car,,,,,, the cossie i bought off you, ill never forget looking at the speedo doing 135 and the road angels shouting

"LASER LASER, CHECK SPEED !!!!!"

almost wrote it off hitting the brakesm was on a the long sweeping left hand bend too


so i sold the road angle 2 and bought a snooper

 

nowi just use it for the drive to MSD and on the way home to veiw the progress of stu and and kennys hard work,,,,,,,, all been good reports so far i must admit

 

M6 toll is mint!! only used it once at about 4am... foot firmly down all the way and only seen 1 other car!

 

Well most times then, 15 to 20 ,,Ever heard of taking the piss?

I use it between 8 and 10 in the morning

 

cool, ill get breakfast if im on there them times

 

Have Redline managed to pass through as a police car?

 

Ive seen coppers on there a lot, you just gota keep your eyes peeled, esp when doing 140+

But ye you can get done, same motorway restrictions apply apparently ALTHOUGH I have heard of people being pulled for speeding, and just being told to slow down or getting a producer

 

We always keep it at 70, eh Kim.....

 

ive got a confession ginge i did 156 down the toll rd in your car

 

Bang on Rick, even when driving my Stus car

 

pmsl - was that on the limiter

 

if u belive that u'll believe anything.

 

id average that speed more often if you finshed that fooking nova OR Simon stopped driving his car like a pussy


cant class the last time we had a play as my car DID have issues,,,,,,,,, i admit its got even more now since i bought a set of spanners

 

Only been on it twice, and saw a cooper with a speed camera the first time lucky I was only doing 80

 

Found this on here http://www.m6toll.co.uk/faqs/


Q: What is the speed limit?
A: The M6 Toll is regulated just like any other motorway and the speed limit is 70mph.

 

simon car also has troubles at the moment coz of ur spanners.

not long now mate, and we'll all be out together

 

So whats the crack with it, as ive never actually used it yet...

Toll at the start, and clear exits, no stopping?

(obv those questions was purely out of interest, not anything to do with checking the ability to run from the police...)

 

whats he done to it now

cant blame me as you now ASOON AS I FINISH THE CAR i told him to get the base idle adjusted aswell as get it set up







to this day he has done what

car had NO SMOKE when it left me, 2 month later he has oil burning issues,,,,,,,, but then he ignores problems,,,,,,,,,,

JUST LIKE HE NEVER SENT MY FUCKING SNOOPER OFF TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE HE WENT AWAY even though he told me he did


owning a performance car you have to be aware when theres issues to get em sorted, not ignore em and then blame others when it dies

 

steve the toll is in the middle mate, so it makes it harder

you lead onto it, just like if you go on the M42 from M1, half way theres services, then the toll booth and then its back to the normal M6
(you can tell by the traffic and the fact your doing 90mph again and think your driving fast )


tbh at night its no faster than the M6 and dont actually save much time UNLESS your guning it or theres road works ( but there all futher up past it now )

 

oh and its not very straight either, quite twisty infact so make spotting the old bill hard at some points ( ive never seen any so thats proof how hard it can be )

 

he aint balmed u, i was only joking.
thats what i like about the nova, the engine is standard. and it aint being strained anless driven hard as the car is so light.

well at least it wont be once its finially finished.

did u get that bolt off?

but about the m6 toll road. it is defo worth the money, not only does it reduce the risk of traffic, but its fun to test ur car.
unfortunally my poor old 1400 only managed just over 120!

 

was that cause you ran out of road whilst the speedo was going 100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 101,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,102,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,103,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,104,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,105,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


not tried the bolt yet as its too cold

 

I dont think the police could catch anyone on the Toll Road TBH

The Toll Road is cool....Lee R21 has a vid of me and Dave Cos4x4 having a leisurely drive going to Central day. Think we were cruising at 152mph when Dave's engine let go all over the front of my car

 

GINGE - when i used it yesterday there was a copper on the other carrageway that had pulled someone over!!

tbh tho if i payed £3.50 to use it, im gonna get my moneys worth

so that clears that up then that you can still get anally fucked by the rozzers for speeding on an EMPTY road at 4am

 

I boycott toll roads and I'm sure I'm not the only one, well I hope not anyway because IT'S A SLIPPERY FUCKING SLOPE

 

if it was my money i would yeah, but as its on expenses fukk it lol

especially as i was sat on the m24 for 1 hour 20 mins
