As i drove home from work last night i saw all the backed up traffic ( luckily i was going the opp direction )  it wasn't until i got home that i saw the news... poor woman.

So i wonder what the off duty officer will get? 6 months and a slapped wrist?

That part of the A21 is an accident hotspot! I

It should really be a duel carriageway with the amount of traffic that uses it daily.
