How important is the hard shoulder?

The government wants to widen the M25 between junction 5 at Clacket lane services and junction 7 the turn off for the M23 by using the hard shoulder. They say it will improve traffic flow and reduce travel times, opponents say it will put drivers lives at risk.

The Highways agency say it will happen from the start of next year and they say it will be safe. Every one and half miles there will be a "refuge point" a layby where you can pull in if you get into trouble.

What do you think? Is this the answer to all your prayers? Do you get stuck in tailbacks on that stretch of road on a daily basis?
