Those familiar with the A24 northbound will be able to picture it well. I've just finished the single carriageway section at the Clarke's Green roundabout. People in the know, know this is where it goes to dual carriageway and, if you've been stuck behind someone who can't drive round bends, you're pretty frustrated at this point. So, like many people do, I popped into the outside lane so I could get progress with my journey.
In the middle of the dual carriageway is quite a large area of grass as a central reservation. If you're approaching from the west, on Coles Lane, you can only turn left and cannot cut over the central reservation to join the A24 south or continue on Coles Lane. However, on this day, as I'm hurtling up the outside lane, someone ignores the road layout and road signs and turns right onto the northbound A24, to head south.
For a couple of seconds I think "I'm dead". Then they pull over onto the central reservation. I don't stop, I just shakily carry on and wonder what the hell that person was thinking.
