    Used it yesterday works well so I am happy traffic was free flowing at 8:30am.

      Hard shoulder is open only when motorway is congested and overall speed limit gets changed to 50 mph. That said I think this experiment will only last until first major accident related to use of hard shoulder.

          I often use the hard the shoulder to turn around and go back if I miss a road junction. Never had any problems.

            I find it a good place to have a quick nap or, if out with the family, somewhere to have a picnic. We're not stupid though..we always sit in front of the car though at night so we can see with the car's headlights.
