Monday, February 13, 2012 at 10:15 PMDeja vu....I was involved in a collision northbound by the lay by just before the Petersfield junction at 7am this morning where a Fiesta went into the back of me in the outside lane! And after the police left the scene, the same officer had stopped just beyond the junction at a 3 car collision. Clearly becoming more of a blackspot!

I drive this way every day and so often see tailbacks all the way past the Horndean turnoff but can't recall any on the southbound side. Wonder what the problem on this stretch is?
