I use the M54 a lot.. I always wondered how can you crash on a fairly straight stretch of road..
That copper managed to do (165mph)? Without incident.

Not pointing fingers but curious as to how your incident happened.

Milton. Was sad he only managed 159 but like you say he never crashed.


Motorway crashes are not cheap so op can expect a four figure bill.

Drivers face new surprise 'repair' motorway fees

Sounds a little like the speculative invoicing tactics used by cowboy private parking companies. Interesting that they apparently reduce the amount being sought or drop it altogether if challenged...

The charges came from Amey LG Limited, one of several large construction companies which maintain the motorways on behalf of the Highways Agency.

A breakdown of the bill lists items such as a 7.5 tonne tipper hire, repairs to rails and £1,830.91 for the closure of the hard shoulder.

How is she responsible for damage, when she skidded on some liquid that was already on the road :huh:

If anyone is responsible, it's the driver of the vehicle that deposited the liquid.
