Intimidated by foreign trucks
When I travel both ways between Junctions 8 to 9, it feels like I'm towing a HGV. I stick to the 50mph limit and the trucks, mostly foreign, are constantly close to my rear.
The lack of a hard shoulder makes it a dangerous drive which is increased at night with no street lights either. I came across a breakdown one night which didn't have any hazards or lights on, obviously a electrical fault. The poor guy was frantically waving a hi-vis jacket and his phone torch to warn other drivers.
During the day, when traffic volumes are higher, the breakdowns cause tailbacks for miles and hinder the free recovery.

I agree that Lorries do not keep a safe stopping distance from cars and as there is no where to go in Brock you drive in such a state of high alert it is exhausting and scary.
