The Smart Motorway M1 had an electical or electronic fault 18 April 2023 so that the gantry signs did not function.
I had a serious problem with our Toyota Land cruiser wherby the oil light came on. I was told by the engineers that I was very unlucky for that to happen on a Landcruiser with 112k miles done.
The engine was destroyed due to not being able to stop immediately due to the steel barrier but managed to get to a bit of grass well off the live lane that was open for 49 minutes after I got to that grass verge.
I noticed that the National Highways are habitual liars and lied their heads off on all points proven by a police bodycam footage obtained by freedom of info.
The N H traffic offiicers body cam had not been charged , well that' her excuse? To be able to see the truth in facts that she did not offer a tow.

It seemed very obvious that 'they' desire you on their official mode of transport and take the vehicle a mile or so to the services by ignoring the fact that the drivers own relay has been ordered before hand.

Why on earth is there miles of steel barriers which pen drivers in which are seen to be unnecessary.

It's a thread resurrection by the OP.
Same OP , same subject. Appears to have had a run in with the Highways Agency.

Lol, this is the guy who refused to let highways tow his st truck so a safe place, for free, and was so much of an aggressive prick that they had to call the police to come and deal with him.

Haha brilliant, the OP has been a tool since way back in 2008 then, and never replied to his own crazy threads back then either!
You can't even assume it's a bot or a student on the wind up, it appears to be a genuine person lol. Talk about holding a daft grudge against authority.

Clearly no point anyone engaging further, he'll be back in a couple of years with the same post again.

His posts read like AI generated ones, although I’m not sure about the ‘I’ part of the equation.
