HOV is a shizzle road. If going from aber to merthyr it's quickest but dangerous and bad if stuck behind lorry.
sorry, im not down with your gangster rap
shizzle is good or bad.
its for the TT i need to get from venny to merthyr

Heads of the Valleys is just a dual carriageway most of the way, not that interesting.
