Between J15 and J11 Southbound.

Where ever you go, it's going to take a while at that speed!

It wasn't a space saver, he'd been racing on ice.

Yep, that was me.
Had a blow out late last night which spun me across the dual carriageway. Buckled the rear alloy, and now in desperate need for a replacement. That motorway journey this morning was one of the worst I have encountered.

It did take a while to get to J11.

They recommend on the space saver not to exceed 80kmh. I wouldn't recommend driving that slow on the motorway ever. I lost count the number of times I thought a lorry was going to drive straight through me.

No more than 60mph. The tyres were low, but I never expected that.
