What is the point of the M6 motorway ?
Answers:
to help you waste huge amounts of time, get nowhere fast, waste fuel, and maybe get a little stressed.
Other than that it's a high functional road.

Where would we be without the M6? Nowhere at all. It's Britain's longest motorway and Britain's busiest. Part of it was also Britain's first.
The first motorway in Britain was the Preston Bypass, which was then incorporated into the M6 when construction was continued. Today it's found between junction 29 and M55 junction 1. The M6 contains all kinds of ground-breaking sections: the section along the Lake District has won awards for enhancing the landscape, for example. In a more mundane area and the section between Shap and Tebay is the only one in Britain to have an unconnected local road running down the central reservation.
Opened in 2003, the M6 Toll bypasses Birmingham, and is Britain's first toll road. In the pipeline is the A74 upgrade which will take the M6 right up to the border, connecting to the A74(M). The A74(M) and M74 could then be renumbered M6 creating a motorway over 350 miles long.

If you think it serves no purpose, you probably use mostly the section through northern Birmingham - but just imagine what would happen if all that traffic had to take the A45 into central Birmingham, round the middle ring road, and out the A34 north - it would be quicker to walk from the NEC to Walsall.
If you get the opportunity, take the M6 north through Cumbria, where it snakes through the valleys, and there's much less traffic. Quite spectacular scenery, and the privately-owned Tebay services shows just how good a service station could be if the big companies cared about their customers.
