I found this story interesting as I typically use this road as one of my 'getting the car out' routes. I've been aware of a couple of accidents this year but was not aware it was as serious as it is. So be careful when driving this route AND expect the road to be 'adjusted' for safety.

We know of one accident in Halnaker where a car full of kids crashed in the 40 zone - very nasty. And I believe there was a McLaren test car that crashed and rolled on it as well. We saw a deer at the side of the road the other day which would have caused some damage. Also there are quite often cyclists, tractors and buses as well as the variety of classics/super cars that head into Goodwood. It also floods quite badly sometimes and has quite a number of nice straight bits followed by nice twisty bits. I'm just a bit worried that as with many of the roads around here any safety measures will not really help safety but will remove any pleasure from the road.

Yeah that is a nice run as well, usually during the day its really busy and lots of horse boxes with little chance to overtake. Midhurst can be a pain for traffic though smile
