Any one use it regularly and have an idea how busy it will be about 630 from m3 to brandshatch? Want to be there without risk of major traffic.

Should be OK at that time. I go round as far as the M23 every Thursday morning about 730 and once past the A3 the traffic moves fairly well.

Went round that part with no issue on monday about 7-8 and was fine, but a truck had blown up going the other way closing 3 lanes I think and causeing alot of problems, so be prepared.

I drive round it almost daily. Its 50mph average speed from the m23 to the m26. It normally runs OK but bunches up at j8, j6 and clacket services. There is no hard shoulder so if there is an accident or a broken down vehicle its usually stuffed for 2-3 urs minmum.

Having said that its Friday which means the traffic will be about half of normal.

Allow yourself extra time due to still haveing a build up of traffic from junction 7 round to junction 4 during peak hr.

And throw the roadworks just before J6 to J5 into the mix as ash also said.... but at that time it shouldn't be too bad.
Use it every day to get to our workshop (J10 - J6) .....and back ....but to be fair the worst of it is clockwise in the morning
and anti-clock in the late afternoon.
Good luck and enjoy Brands
