God knows how this happens, I use that road quite often and am amazed at the number of times cars have crossed the central reservation (about 50-60 yds wide), and find themselves heading the wrong way on the opposite carriageway....
Mind you as it happens so often you would have thought that one of the genius town planners would have thought to put a barrier up in the middle of the central reservation........not sure how many people are going to have to die on the 1/2 mile or so before the local council/highways agency do something about it........

That totally screwed up the traffic everywhere around bracknell yesterday, however I gather there were at least another two accidents as well.
My ex managed to nearly have a very nasty accident on that bit of road without a barrier near the M4 joins heading towards bracknell (although I think they've added more since), basically someone drove into the side of her car pushing her onto the grass at about 80 and caused her to spin instantly. Luckily she stayed on the grass bit!
I believe the bloke got done for dangerous driving and leaving the scene of an accident in the end as someone followed him after they saw what happened and phoned the police with their number plate etc.
