      The main issue with that road is drivers coming from the west tend to go on the go in the lane coming from east.The area needs some engineering as soon as possible.

    I wonder if they were going to catch a plane or taking a sick person to the hospital. Either way, they did not make it, so what is the sense in driving recklessly. If you slow down you may reach where you going. You all only making insurance rates go up for innocent drivers.

    people are always over the wrong side of the road because they are arrogant and selfish - even on narrow ridge road etc. Same reason they park so others cannot move on or stop in the road rather than pull off it to pick up and drop off people. It is very dangerous. We also have a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing because they didn't even take the mickey mouse test we have. Plus most cars have the driver's seat on the wrong side meaning these idiots don't even know where their vehicle starts and finishes. Then, when accidents do happen, those in the wrong do not get prosecuted. You reap what you sow
