Reply To: Drivers no longer need hard shoulders, says Highways England

[Clare Cox]

What an arrogant, narrow minded view!!! Smart roads and smart vehicles cannot prevent a puncture, a blowout on a lorry, and nor can they prevent an accident! How does this person expect ambulance, police and fire service to reach the scene of an RTC, multiple pile up, overturned lorry or caravan, causing miles of tailbacks, if there is no hard shoulder? Lives will be lost!!
