Post Emergency landing ............ Field or Motorway ?

Scenario :. .. .Engine failure and you can't restart it.. .. .Would you :. .. .a) Go for a rough landing in a wet/soft field (risking damage to yourself and aircraft). .. .b) Go for the nice straight,wide piece of tarmac...... the motorway ( but only if it's quiet i know !!! not the M25 at rush hour !!). .And have a normal (ish) power off landing with no injuries to you, people on the ground or any damage to the aircraft.. .. .And has anyone heard of this happening anywhere ?. .. .I was day dreaming on the motorway today and this just came into my head !!
