Re: Recent A90 lorry crash
I don't know that junction but it's usually a pretty hard turn to go down a slip road the wrong way. Not to mention the signs and road markings you would need to ignore.
Looks like the lorry drivers reactions saved that girls life. |

It's here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...01929&t=h&z=16
Looks like if you "just" change lanes on the slip road, you're heading south instead of north. |

Re: Recent A90 lorry crash
Blooming heck
She is one lucky driver man. What a fright those lorry driver must have got to see a car coming towards them in the wrong direction. Wouldn't like to see her insurance quote next time she gets behind the wheel which is hopefully a long long while away. Will she need to re-sit her test again? Surely that kind of dangerous driving will carry a banning. She could have caused death by dangerous driving!!

Re: Recent A90 lorry crash
lucky people!
just did a google street view, should the road marking not be solid white? or even a no entry sign... http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...01929&t=h&z=16 |

Re: Recent A90 lorry crash
Lucky indeed.
Dunno why would you change lanes in the first place, but the road markings tell you which lane to use: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...129.5,,0,18.62 |

Re: Recent A90 lorry crash
Maybe her sat nav was telling her a similar thing as those google directions - "Keep right at the fork and merge onto A90", and she got the forks mixed up
