Or possibly suffering with sleep apnia which seems to be worryingly common in truck drivers, mainly due to obesity. There are ways to treat it, it just requires people to become more aware of the problem and get treated.

A far as I am aware they are the safest type of road.

Far more DSI accidents happen on A roads.

A605 is lethal. Very very dangerous road.

This can be eased by simply not driving like a c.v.nt - just watch for kamikaze overtaking manouvers/people coming towards you on the wrong side of the road!!!!!

Simple rule of thumb is to just drive with the flow of traffic, don't even bother overtaking cos all you'll achieve is an extra car length. At worst it doesn't drop below 40.

I wouldn't recommend any variant of Crosbosis on this road.

That's really sad. It's always tragic when something like this happens but it always seems 10 times worse at this time of the year. I feel quite comfortable with my hubby driving but I'm always on the look out for that one car that will pull out on you cos the drivers not paying attention.
