The A338/A346 is dangerous, because of the HGVs I so often write about, and also because of speeding. In November a gentleman was turning out of his daughter and son-in-law’s farm onto the road near the Ogbournes when he was hit from behind; he is still in hospital now. I met his family and other neighbours to hear tales of accidents and near-misses on this stretch where blind dips make it lethal when people speed, as they do on this open, straight Roman road.
