Yup, the M62 is a lorry-dodging nightmare at the best of times.

Certainly worth avoiding when foggy, or snowy. If both apply, simply give up.

I like the M50, as you usually get it to yourself, like the M45. The high part of the M62 is beautiful, though it was were I had my first ever puncture – it was pretty hairy changing it with lorries thundering past about 6 inches away….

I have a soft spot for the M10 as well, given how pathetically short it is, but I understand it’s soon to disappear….

I agree with your suggestion that the M6 in Cumbria is perhaps the finest. The scenery up there is so spectacular.

Other interesting motorways include the M50 (a little jobby doo-dah that links the M5 to Ross-on-Wye, and is extremely un-motorway-like), and the M62 as it traverses the Pennines.

Can I nominate Lake Shore Drive in Chicago? Especially coming south from the North Side — and even more particularly right where it curves out toward the lake (where the Drake is — East Lake Shore Drive it’s called).

But not at rush hour.

Maybe a clear Sunday morning in Spring or early Summer.
