Following another fatal accident on the A414 Leverstock Green to St Albans Road, it is a dangerous trap for the inexperienced motorist.
Having been restrained by varying speed limits (with cameras) of 30mph to 50mph, the only dual carriageway comes into view. The problem is, it is only about 200 yards long, so you have about 20 seconds to accelerate rapidly and overtake. Herein lies the problem; you have to accelerate from 45mph to 75mph in a few seconds but only top end cars will do this safely.
