The week before last I had to get to Solihull for first thing. Checked Google Maps before setting out and all looked okay.
Ten minutes later when I got onto the M60 it was saying M6 closed from junction 15-14 (I think) southbound. Decided to risk M6 to J17. It was fine and got into a short queue for J17 only it took forever because everyone else pushed in at the front. Then all the A roads were obviously snarled up. Typical that I have to get somewhere once in a blue moon and the motorway was shut for a few hours :-)
As for views... you broke the law and you should have stuck it out for however long it took. If you do get done for using hard shoulder then you've yourself to blame. Although you'll probably get away with it.
