Just wondering if anyone here has had any problems on this bit of road.

The red paint seems very slippery in the wet.

Thanks for the replies, just wondered if any locals or people familiar with the area have had any trouble here. My dad had an accident down here recently in his Impreza. He said he was just cruising round it at 25-30mph. The road was a bit wet but not that bad. The car just slid off the road into the crash barriers without any warning. He said it felt like the wheels just wern't connected to the road, turning the steering wheel seemed to do nothing at all. Luckly everyone was ok, nobody else was involved. The police said there have been a lot of incidents almost exactly the same at this spot usualy involving a 4 wheel drive car. We have contacted Herts Highways Agency who are going to investigate the road surface soon.
