Dangerous bit of motorway between j9 and 6 westbound especially. Sections of standing water every time it rains. Wrote my car off there last year and seen half a dozen accidents there but nothing has been done about the drainage.

If it rains heavily then slow down. Thousands of people use this motorway every day. They drive with caution, within the speed limits and leave plenty of room between them and the vehicles in front.
Just because two vehicles crash doesn't make the road dangerous......just the driver that crashed and caused the accident.
