Wet roads more idiots…..
Maybe they need to look at the safety of the road as there is a lot of accidents on this stretch of road and can’t believe it’s all down to driver error.
Driver error or not driving according to the road conditions.
You don’t know any facts so shut it
I have to agree with Gungadin on this one Stu. I also suspect driver error. There is no problem with that section of road but it does require drivers to keep within the speed limits and pay general care and attention to side-roads. This applies even more so in poor conditions which were in play this morning.
Speeding Idiots
You don’t know that, be more kind, I hope all involved are ok x
Those cars didn’t drive themselves…..
But they probably will within a few years.
This bit of road does take a little care, but is not hazardous.
