With regards to Dunk Way I have to drive along that road sometimes several times a shift and for my homeward journey.

When I am at work and the situation needs the use of Sirens and Lights a lot of users do pull to the left to allow passage (and thanks to those who do) but there are some that will keep their speed up and not allow us to overtake or even get into the left hand lane so that we can get onto the motorway slip road so we end up at the roundabout and then comes the "fun" (not fun can be dangerous) of having to cut accross their front to get onto the slip road.

Thankfully not had an accident there but have been to several and most of them have ended up on the embankment after failing to stop or slow down for the junction.

Am working tonight so will post tomorrow if I have had any problems on that strech of road.

Just a bit more info we tend to go that way as it is a smoother ride.
