At least 3 points and a fine if caught!
Have never done it and wouldn't unless an absolute emergency (which is what the hard shoulder is for) and that means being sick or broken down.
Don't even like to use the hard shoulder on managed motorways. I think they are dangerous.
It's too easy to hit a stationary vehicle, run over someone returning from the bushes etc.
One shouldn't gloat.....

BTW, re all the holier then though stuff....politics has nothing to do with it. You get wealthy business people doing it as well, because they feel that they are more important then mere mortals!
