Car exhaust between j2-j1 northbound on M5
16th June
I was driving northbound M5 between J2-J1 on the bridge in the middle lane and a whole exhaust pipe rolled across the carriageway and into my passenger side front wheel I did pull over and the last I saw of it, it had come off into the hard shoulder, it was not safe for me to remove from the hard shoulder as I already felt very vulnerable the hard shoulder was not very wide and it was quite a way away from my vehicle. Im concerned it will do the same to someone else and potentially cause an accident I am very lucky I did not crash at the time I dont think someone else would be so lucky

They don't call it the dirtiest motorway for nothing! Years and years pass and they never clean it. Why bother when you are never punished?
