The M1...The Longest Motorway In The UK

[as400]

Or at least that's what Jeremy Clarkson with over 30 years of motoring journalism behind him said when 'helping' a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire...I can hear Piers Morgan laughing....and on that bombshell the program ended.

PS The answer is of course the M5...I mean...M4...er M6 then.

The M5 certainly feels like the longest

Motorway? What's one of them when it's at home? Asked the bloke in Wales.

All wrong! The M60 never ends. The M25, while can take days to get around is harder on the wallet, technically isn't a complete circle - The Dartford Crossing is the A282 and isn't part of the M25.

not generally known but the A55 expressway in Colwyn Bay was designed and constructed as a motorway

Not actually a motorway, though. 50 limit, too.

A1. Brent cross to Edinburgh.

Motorway for some of it. A1M, what's that all about? surely that means there are two M1s!
